In fantasy football speak, Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard was a major bust in the 2023 NFL season. Even in real life, Pollard was a letdown performer for the Cowboys, as he took a step back after a promising 2022 campaign. Now, there’s a good chance that the pending free agent will indeed be parting ways with Dallas in free agency, as the Cowboys don’t seem to be interested in using another franchise tag option on him.
Should The Dallas Cowboys Re-Sign Tony Pollard?
However, there is still a chance that Pollard stays with the Dallas Cowboys, though, not for more money than what the team paid him in 2023, which was $10.091 million. And as speculated by Todd Archer of ESPN, keeping Pollard is not going to be a guarantee that Dallas wouldn’t look for other running backs in the market.
Pollard played the 2023 season on the $10 million franchise tag but is not likely to see that type of deal in free agency this offseason. He might find returning to the Cowboys to be his best option. Even if he is brought back, look for the Cowboys to address the running back spot in free agency or in the draft.
After becoming a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career in 2022, Pollard rushed for just a career-worst 4.0 yards per carry in 2023 to go with six rushing touchdowns — three fewer than what he had a season before despite a higher usage. There will be options for the Dallas Cowboys in free agency if they want to add a new running back. Names like Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, and Austin Ekeler are some of the big hitters out there along with Pollard as well as the likes of Gus Edwards and, well, Ezekiel Elliott.
