The winds of change are beginning to blow over the Dallas Metroplex area, starting with a possible shakeup in the Dallas Cowboys’ backfield. We have more news regarding the Cowboys’ offense after Ian Rapoport reported that Tyron Smith’s return to the team was unlikely.
Not surprising, but the Cowboys are not using the franchise tag on a player for the first time since 2017. They had used it on Tony Pollard ('23), Dalton Schultz ('22), Dak Prescott ('20, '21) and DeMarcus Lawrence ('18, '19).

The Cowboys will not offer the franchise tag to running back Tony Pollard.
