FRISCO — The Dallas Cowboys may be preparing to make one of the biggest backfield moves of the offseason.
A senior executive inside the organization confirmed that the team has already met with a high-profile running back and his agent — and made it clear he sits “at the top of our list to go out and sign.”
Even more telling?
The Cowboys aren’t looking at a short-term patch.
They want a multi-year deal.
A Clear Signal About the Backfield
After a season filled with questions about consistency and explosiveness in the run game, the Cowboys appear ready to make a decisive move.
Sources say discussions were productive, and both sides understand the potential fit. The front office reportedly views this running back as someone who can:
Add power between the tackles
Improve red-zone efficiency
Provide durability over a long season
Complement the team’s existing offensive weapons
The interest is not casual.
It’s targeted.
Why This Move Matters
Dallas has been evaluating how to reshape its offensive identity. A reliable ground attack remains critical — especially in high-pressure playoff environments where balance becomes everything.
Locking in a long-term option at running back would signal stability.
It would also show confidence in building around a more physical offensive approach moving forward.
Timing Is Everything
While no deal is finalized, insiders suggest momentum is building. The fact that meetings have already taken place — and that the player is described as a priority — indicates the Cowboys are not waiting around.
They know what they want.
And they appear ready to move aggressively.
What Comes Next?
Negotiations now shift to contract structure, guarantees, and long-term value. If both sides align, this could become one of the more significant backfield signings of the offseason.
For now, one thing is clear:
The Cowboys have identified their target.
And they are serious about bringing him to Dallas.
