After lead back Tony Pollard had a disappointing season, the Dallas Cowboys will want to improve their running game. Is Josh Jacobs of the Las Vegas Raiders a suitable replacement?
SB Nation thinks the Cowboys might be able to find the solution via trade, by bringing in former Pro Bowler Joe Mixon from Cincinnati.
“Mixon is a few years removed from a Pro Bowl season in 2021 when he rushed for a career-high 1,205 yards … but he has some tread left on the tire,” writes the site.
“Given that the Bengals were ready to part ways with Mixon last season, the Cowboys could be able to get Mixon for a Day 3 pick. Imagine the Cowboys adding Mixon and then drafting a Day 2 runner like Michigan’s Blake Corum.”
Pollard’s calculated market value per Spotrac is $6.5 million for next season, and the Cowboys could get Mixon slightly cheaper through trade. Mixon will be entering the final season of a two-year, $11.5 million deal.
