The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign a top free agent running back in a spectacular offseason signing.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign a top free agent running back in a spectacular offseason signing.

The Dallas Cowboys now need to fill the running back position because Tony Pollard plans to test the open market this summer. It’s advised that they search the AFC West for a possible replacement.

The concept of the Dallas Cowboys signing Josh Jacobs, who the

Las Vegas Raiders aren’t interested in keeping via the franchise tag for a

second straight summer, was presented by Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report.

Jacobs will have little excuse not to at least test the market after refusing to sign a revised one-year,

$12 million contract for the most of the 2023 offseason. If he does,

it will be up to Las Vegas to decide whether to pay more for his services than other teams,

according to Knox.

“The Raiders won’t match an offer made to Jacobs by a team like the Dallas Cowboys,” he continued.

What role will Josh Jacobs play in the Dallas Cowboys’ system?

The Las Vegas Raiders intend to use multiple running backs and not be as dependent on one player,

so it doesn’t make sense for them to spend a lot of money on keeping Jacobs this summer.

That puts the two-time Pro Bowler among the top two RB options in free agency.

Jacobs’ numbers declined in 2023 after posting 2,053 yards (1,653 rushing, 400 receiving) and 12 touchdowns.

He only played 13 games due to a quad injury.

Last month, Tom Telesco, general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders, stated,

“You need more than one back. That’s how we’re going to play and how a lot of teams play.”

“I don’t really see anything akin to a lead-back.

It is necessary for you to have multiple. You must own two; you must possess three.

Each of them plays a distinct function on the club.

It’s difficult to place the entire blame for the way this game is played on one person.

Josh Jacobs can fill the role of the dual-threat running back that the

Dallas Cowboys haven’t had since Ezekiel Elliott in his heyday. The Alabama product, meanwhile,

is only 26 years old—not “old” by NFL running back standards.

However, Dallas is over $4 million over the cap, so they may need to

make some financial acrobatics in order to acquire Jacobs.
