The Dallas Cowboys are keeping running back Tony Pollard.
The team reportedly placed the franchise tag on him Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pollard will make a fully guaranteed $10.09 million if he plays on the tag, but the team also has until July 15 to negotiate a long-term extension. This was always the expectation, though, if a contract couldn't be agreed to before Tuesday's deadline.
The fourth-year running back posted his best season in 2022. Pollard rushed for 1,007 yards and 9 touchdowns for a healthy 5.
