4/25/25 | Cowboys fans need to be worried after Stephen Jones' cringeworthy draft take. The Dallas Cowboys appear ready to make the same mistake during the 2025 NFL draft that they did during the 2024 NFL draft. Dallas had one of the worst running back stables in the league, but ignored the position all weekend. Ultimately, they went with Ezekiel Elliott as their starter, who struggled mightily. Rico Dowdle eventually replaced him and was far better than expected, but they were still just 29th in rushing yards as a team. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys... |
4/21/25 | Bills could cut ties with 2-time 1,000-yard rusher in blockbuster trade with Cowboys. After nearly a decade of relying on Ezekiel Elliott to shoulder the load in the backfield, the Cowboys have faltered over the past few seasons. In 2024, the ground game started exceptionally slow, and picked up at the end only when Rico Dowdle found his groove. The Cowboys are heading into the NFL Draft with Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, two players whose teams had no interest in re-signing them at the end of the year, as their main starting candidates. If the Cowboys don't want to use their first-round pick on a running back, perhaps they could instead trade for a two-time Pro Bowler. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/dallas-cowboys... |
3/21/25 | Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders won't cede lead role easily if the Cowboys draft RB. It's way too early to project who will lead the Cowboys in rushing. It will be the first time in 10 years that someone other than Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard or Rico Dowdle — one of these is not like the others — holds that distinction. Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton or one of the handful of other backs the Cowboys will interview ahead of the April draft will be part of the new way forward. Be the smartest Cowboys fan.

2/25/25 | Cowboy predicted to land 29-TD star to fill Dallas' biggest need. Dallas brought Ezekiel Elliott back into the mix ahead of the campaign after he spent the 2023 season with the New England Patriots. Elliott and Rico Dowdle were the team's two main running backs in 2024 but things didn't start off great. Dowdle eventually took over the main role and finished the season with over 1,000 yards but the team needs to make a move this offseason. Elliott is gone and Dowdle is heading to free agency.

2/09/25 | Cowboys dead last in NFC spending at this position, just $3 million before free agency, draft. The Cowboys have completed the mission. After heavily investing in the running back position in both draft and financial capital, things have bottomed out.

1/13/25 | Analyst delivers stern warning about Chargers' Ezekiel Elliott. The Los Angeles Chargers signed running back Ezekiel Elliott to their practice squad just before the NFL playoffs, but Elliott never actually got a chance to participate in any live game action. Elliott's time with the Chargers may have been very short lived, as Los Angeles was eliminated from the Wild Card Round, and the former Dallas Cowboys star is slated to hit free agency. The 29-year-old is obviously a big name, but he isn't remotely close to the player he was during his peak years, and Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox has listed him among the free agents that teams should absolutely avoid this offseason.

1/10/25 | Ezekiel Elliott's Los Angeles Chargers debut hits a snag. It appears hyped running back Ezekiel Elliott won't make his Los Angeles Chargers debut during the NFL playoff game against the Houston Texans this weekend. Elliott, signed to the practice squad and with a simple message received from Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert, was not the running back elevated for the playoff game during the team's roster moves. Instead, the Chargers elevated safety Eddie Jackson and running back Jaret Patterson from the practice squad to the active roster for the playoff game.

1/09/25 | Chargers' surprise release before playoffs could hint at bigger things coming. The Los Angeles Chargers continued a string of roster moves ahead of the playoffs by releasing offensive lineman Jordan McFadden. It's a bit of news that comes from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and aligns with the pair of roster moves that will add two players back to the active roster from injured reserve . It could also signal the team's desire to potentially get running back Ezekiel Elliott on the active roster . McFadden was a fifth-round pick in 2023 who couldn't climb up from the bottom of the depth chart, to the point he got looks as a tight end/fullback hybrid over the summer. But the fullback job went to Scott Matlock, who plays both sides of the football. Still, it's at least a little surprising Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-surprise-... |
1/08/25 | Don't laugh – Ezekiel Elliott might be better addition for Chargers than fans expect. One doesn't have to look far online to see NFL fans shrugging off the Los Angeles Chargers adding running back Ezekiel Elliott before the first round of the playoffs. Washed accusations are common when it comes to Elliott these days and the fact he chose the Chargers over other interested teams as he goes ring chasing comes up in the conversations, too. For those reasons alone, Elliott could get elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Saturday's playoff game against the Houston Texans.
