The Dallas Cowboys are returning a familiar face to the running back room after losing one key player in free agency last week. The Cowboys watched as Tony Pollard signed with the Tennessee Titans last week.
The Dallas Cowboys have lost key RBs in recent offseasons
The Cowboys have lost two key running backs in as many offseasons. Last offseason, they released Ezekiel Elliott. The team was expected to try to land a competent replacement last week. AJ Dillon was considered a logical option for the “all-in” Cowboys, but he re-signed with the Green Bay Packers.
Like the Packers with Dillon, the Cowboys are bringing back one of their players from the 2023 team.
Rico Dowdle is staying in Dallas
Per the sports agency SportsTrust Advisors, Rico Dowdle signed with the Cowboys.

Dowdle has spent his career with the Cowboys
Dowdle has been with the Cowboys since they signed him as an undrafted free agent before the 2020 season. Dowdle had his best season in Dallas last season. He rushed for 331 yards and two touchdowns. Dowdle added 17 receptions for 144 yards and two touchdowns in the passing game.
Dowdle could have a bigger load on the Cowboys’ offense in the 2024 season.

Jerry you said we are all in for next season. Why did we not sign Derrick Henry? We passed on him in the draft then we passed on him again in free agency when he was there for the taking. He could of helped out running game and taken pressure of of Dak. I’m disappointed in you Jerry Jones for not getting us a running back in free agency. Philly,Wash. All upgraded that position. We just set there and did nothing.
Jerry Jones doesn’t learn his lesson until the cowboys Go through a rough season like they been going through for 30 years since Troy akiman retire this organization has gone down the drain.
To be honest as a Cowboy fan, I don’t think anyone in the organization really cares about winning a superbowl. The fans are the one’s that do. Cowboy fans pay for tickets, buy Cowboy attire. Jerry Jones continues making money. They don’t care about how the fans really feel.
I’ve been saying this the last few years we should boycott & hit Jerry in his pockets! I personally do not buy any of his merchandise anymore nor do I attend the games. I will not let him continue to get richer off of my hard earned money and he treats us like trash!
Kneed all new information
You feel like that because your a like lover of passion for your so called team ..yes you have nothing to do to make your team better . So wait like everyone does for there couple teams you like . Possibly one in afc and nf. . I’d suggest the Cincinnati Bengals as your afc Tam. I’ve been thru a lifelong wait and s.f. and Pitt have always seemed to get in the way or mistakes I should say . Keep enjoying your day may come now that you have two chances.
I firmly believed that when Jerry fired Jimmy and started meddling too much on the coaching side instead of staying on his lane, the business side, the Cowboys would never get to Super Bowl. It’s been 35 years and counting. We need new ownership that cares for the fans.
All in for next year = as long as it’s cheap and doesn’t involve any one the fan’s would know!
Jerry Jones has been lying to the Cowboys fans for years it’s all about the money.
I have been a die hard Cowboys fan since age 3 (51 years) I am over Jerry’s BS.
It’s starting to hurt I have been a fan since 1977
COWBOY DIE HARD ITS TIME FOR US TO WIN ANOTHER SUPER BOWL IN DALLAS….
Jerry Jones you are CENILE !!! … and frikin stubborn , by the way are you on the pipe 🤑🤑🤑⚖️🤡💣💥
Jerry just cares about making money doesn’t matter what the fans want doesn’t even care about winning another super bowl her is the worst gm/owner in the NFL he should sale the team to someone who wants and cares about winning.
Wow….this is Jerry’s idea of “All -In”, eh? Yeah, I guess I’ll be all in with the Buccaneers this season then. It’s sure to be better than whats going to happen in Dallas…
Dallas, you have overlooked the fans, who buy your gear, and increase your ticket sales each year, and feel entitled to be arrogant in satisfying the revenue you get from our support in making you and your family richer. But you fail to realize that.. when your cash cows.. have diminished. Then your plight to look down on us.. Cowboy Nation… Will be scattered accrossed to other teams in the league. You will feel that crush. Just as we do each time you fail us. Enough is enough.
The Draft is where he’ll make the right moves. There are Rookies that will fare better than someone else high priced headache. Something bid will happen on draft day that will pay dividends
All in I don’t think so, Jerry has to be all out for Dallas to get to the next level
Ah yes, just like last year’s great #1 pick. The biggest bust of the draft I believe.
Who???
I’ve been a Dallas COWBOYS fan since 1962, I was 5 years old and I’ll be 67 y/o in October. I’ve been to 2 games, both away games but seeing a home game is at the top of my bucket list. Over the years we’ve spent $$$$$ on COWBOYS merch.
It’s been 28 years, Jerry Jones. Twenty-eight looonng years, Jerry, and all you can do is pay lip-service to the fans who have made you incredibly rich. It’s time to pay some of it back by fielding a Super Bowl caliber team. A team that will kick a** and take names and WIN!!!
If not, maybe the COWBOYS should be called a DOORMAT instead of America’s Team.
Jerry doesn’t care about the fan’s he’s making money win or lose
Time to sell the team JJ! U have brought this team down since winning super bowl 30!
Draft Draft Draft 2nd rd RB will steal the show just wait ..look for two great wrs to come in Draft also . And don’t forget our 1st rd trade ITS COMING !!!☆☆☆
Man if Dallas is winning there fans act like they won.the Superbowl.but when they lose the Cowboys ego’s deflate. I’m with Stephen A. About how the fans whine more than people that make the wine at a wine cellar.just face the cowboys suck every year during playoff time.and nothing is gonna change as long as Jerry is the Owner/Gm.
Jerry had nothing to do with play calling defense let us down not Jerry not Dak glade new coaches have arrived
And as long as they keep Dak. Its been his receivers caring him. They risk getting hurt to make those catches. I think he is only on the numbers, one out of ten. Numbers in meaning on key pass
Dallas is boiling over and just waitng for this wr crop. Trade up and get your Texas RB. Wrs will come atleast two and replace LVE a MUST… lineman love to play for DA’ BOYZ.. WERE SET AFTER DRAFT ..BELIEVE ☆☆☆
Fire Dak. Get Tom Brady. Get Zeke back and give him the d*** ball. Fire the whole d*** defense and start over.
Stupid article…bring this guy back means nothing. They lost their starter and need new one. That should be the article.
