The Dallas Cowboys have done a complete 180 in how they value the running back position. Perhaps they are waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike again, but this past offseason marked the second year in a row they committed minimal resources to their backfield.
Part of that process included letting 2024 leading rusher Rico Dowdle leave in free agency. The front office signed Javonte Williams before Dowdle ended up inking a deal with the Panthers. Dowdle got slightly more guaranteed money than Williams, but it wasn't enough to make Dallas' decision any less head-scratching.
