Dallas Cowboys Land 1x Pro Bowler AFC North RB In Staggering Trade Proposal

If the Dallas Cowboys are looking to shore up their running back position, they should be looking in the direction of Cincinnati Bengals tailback Joe Mixon, according to LP Cruz of SB Nation’s Blogging The Boys.

Adding Mixon presents a win-win scenario for both sides. The Cowboys need help at running back as Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle are set to enter free agency. Also, while a nice story, Deuce Vaughn looks far from ready to assume a leading role in the Cowboys’ backfield. There were reports of Mixon being on the outs in Cincinnati last year, but Mixon and the team agreed to a reworked contract.

In order to acquire Mixon, the Cowboys would have to engineer a trade with the Bengals since the former Oklahoma Sooners star running back still has a year left in his current contract. Mixon is to earn a base salary of $2.2 million in the 2024 NFL season. And while the Cowboys still have Tony Pollard, he is likely to test the waters of NFL free agency even though is coming off a down season. That disappointing 2023 NFL campaign by Pollard is also a reason for the Cowboys to doubt their security in the position even when presuming that Pollard would stay in Arlington.

Pollard regressed in 2023 and is widely considered as a “fantasy bust.” In real life, Pollard seemingly struggled with a heavier workload, as he concluded the last season with 1,005 rushing yards on just 4.0 rushing yards per carry, down from his 2002 numbers of 1,007 rushing yards on 193 rushing attempts for 5.2 yards per run.

Mixon is a little older option than Pollard, but he’s more proven as a No. 1 option on the ground. So far in his NFL career, the 2021 Pro Bowler has ammassed 6,412 rushing yards and 49 touchdowns and also generated 2,139 receiving yards and 13 touchdown catches across 97 games played.
