Once the 2014 NFL season ended, all eyes were on the Dallas Cowboys’ running back “situation”. The big question always involved the offensive player of the year and NFL leading rusher, former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. His contract negotiations dominated the headlines until Murray decided to join the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Cowboys signed free agent running back Darren McFadden, formerly of the Oakland Raiders. I’ve never believed that McFadden was brought in to be “the answer”. The Cowboys love to foster competition at nearly every position. The exception is the quarterback spot because like it or not, this team belongs to quarterback Tony Romo.
