Rico Dowdle officially announced himself with the Carolina Panthers after a phenomenal rushing performance against the Miami Dolphins. And the running back wasted no time turning his attention to the next mission on the schedule.
That just so happens to be the team that deemed Dowdle unworthy of a contract extension this offseason.
The Cowboys didn't bring back Dowdle despite gaining more than 1,000 rushing yards in 2024. Those in power felt like a fresh approach was needed, turning to the veteran tandem of Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, who was released by the Panthers this offseason, instead.
