4/16/25	Iowa Standout Lands Mighty Comparison to Former Cowboys Superstar. Iowa Hawkeyes running back Kaleb Johnson has actually developed into one of the more polarizing prospects heading into the NFL Draft. The Cowboys needs a halfback after losing Rico Dowdle to free agency, so it would absolutely make sense for them to scoop up Johnson in the draft. Ironically enough, in a detailed piece where ESPN's Matt Miller ranked all of the prospects in this upcoming class and provided NFL comparisons for each of them, he likened Johnson to former Dallas superstar DeMarco Murray.

4/04/25	Dallas Cowboys are Obvious Fit for Ohio State Buckeyes Star. Ohio State Buckeyes running back Quinshon Judkins will surely be off the board within the first two days of the NFL Draft later this month, and there is a tiny faction that even believes Judkins could be a first-round pick. Judkins met with the Cowboys this week, which does not come as too much of a surprise given that Dallas desperately needs a halfback after losing Rico Dowdle to free agency.

4/03/25	NFC South Check-In: Carolina Panthers. Carolina also landed former Ram Christian Rozeboom and former Viking Patrick Jones to add depth at the off-ball and outside linebacker spots, respectively. Jones tallied 7.0 sacks in Minnesota last year and the Panthers need help off the edge after recording the fourth-lowest defensive sack rate in the NFL in 2024. The Panthers did make one notable addition on offense, swiping running back Rico Dowdle off the Cowboys' roster. Dowdle came on strong down the stretch last year and managed to crack the 1,000-yard rushing mark while averaging 4.6 yards per tote. Source: https://www.buccaneers.com/news/nfc-south-check-ca...
3/27/25	NFL analyst makes insane prediction for blockbuster Panthers trade. Behind him, they have 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle on a one-year contract. When that contract expires, Jonathon Brooks, last year's second-round pick, will return from a second torn ACL. With a potential contract dispute coming between the Buffalo Bills and James Cook, a trade is certainly plausible. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/nfl-analyst-i...
3/26/25	Cowboys to 'target' this RB prospect in 2025 NFL Draft, under one condition. After letting former undrafted running back Rico Dowdle sign with the Carolina Panthers for just $2.75 million, the Dallas Cowboys are a team that's likely to invest more at the running back position this offseason. To be fair, the Cowboys have already made a series of moves, signing former Denver Broncos tailback Javonte Williams and Panthers running back Miles Sanders. While that group offers more versatility and more upside than the 2024 Cowboys RB room, it doesn't inspire a ton of confidence. After ranking 30th in rushing yards per attempt last season, it wouldn't surprise anyone if the Cowboys weren't done considering other running backs, possibly even in the 2025 NFL Draft.

3/25/25	Cowboys expected to meet with NFL Draft RB prospect who 'fell in love with Dallas'. After losing Rico Dowdle to the Carolina Panthers in NFL free agency, the Dallas Cowboys need to continue rebuilding the running back room. Dallas added veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders during the first week of free agency, but could still benefit from adding a star featured back in the NFL Draft.

3/09/25	Analyst predicts Cowboys sign $7 million former Pro Bowl running back.

Is the ground game the way the Cowboys return to the playoffs? By GBag Nation When you think of the 2024 Cowboys offense, the best part of it was probably the running game with Rico Dowdle and his breakout season. Is a further emphasis on the ground game the formula to getting the Cowboys back to postseason glory? GBag discusses if they need to pivot from pass heavy to run heavy in the video above.

12/26/24	Rush on looming free agency, Cowboys' mentality in finale vs. Eagles. As noted, the offense has definitely evolved over the past month or so, in large part due to the impact of Rico Dowdle, as he approaches his first career 1,000-yard season, and CeeDee Lamb gutting through a painful shoulder injury to continually break records for the Cowboys. With only two games remaining before he finds himself once again in free agency, it goes without saying that Rush wants to keep the good times rolling against the Philadelphia Eagles and then Washington Commanders.
