The Dallas Cowboys running back room is far from terrible, as Javonte Williams is coming off a breakout campaign that saw him finish in the top-10 in carries (No.
10), rushing yards (No. 9), and touchdowns (No. 8).
However, the franchise’s depth could use some work, as the next RB in line finished the 2025-26 season with 52 carries (one less than quarterback Dak Prescott), 250 rushing yards (only 73 more than Prescott), and two touchdowns (tied with Prescott). Adding a five-time Pro Bowl RB with 86 career touchdowns (rushing and receiving) this offseason could be the answer to the Cowboys’ problems in the backfield, at least that’s what Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox thinks. “While (Alvin) Kamara is on the roster now, that could change after June 1,” Knox wrote Thursday.
“After that date, the Saints would save $456,741 in cap space by trading him. Moving him before June 1 would cost $7. 6 million in additional 2026 cap space.
