Let’s get it back to the NFL:

Sanders signed a four-year, $25 million contract with the Panthers and was released halfway through. He ran the ball just 187 times in two seasons, finishing with 637 yards and three touchdowns. His yards-per-carry rate was only 3.5, a far cry from the 5.0 number he put up in Philadelphia, capping his Birds’ tenure with a Pro Bowl nod and Super Bowl appearance.

With Rico Dowdle heading to Carolina, the Cowboys’ RB room looks like this:

  • Sanders: might be cooked
  • Javonte Williams: Ran for 513 yards and four touchdowns last year, fell behind Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. 3.7 YPC with Bo Nix running the ball 92 times himself.
  • Malik Davis: practice squad guy in 2024
  • Deuce Vaugn: small guy coming off an ankle injury
  • Hunter Luepke: a fullback

They should draft a running back.
