Should the Dallas Cowboys Gun for a Star AFC South RB?

There’s a dilemma facing the Dallas Cowboys’ running back group. After yet another strong season as the team’s main rushing weapon, their star running back Tony Pollard doesn’t seem to be interested in keeping his contract with the organization.

But this issue also presents a chance: Derrick Henry is willing to join a contender in the hopes of winning his first Super Bowl.

What are the Dallas Cowboys’ chances of getting Henry?

According to Adam Schultz’s piece for Cowboys Country, the Tennessee Titans RB is increasingly becoming a possible acquisition once free agency opens.

The 30-year-old Alabama standout was a force to be reckoned with despite a lacking offensive line in Nashville. He finished the season with 1167 rushing yards on 280 attempts for 12 TDs, averaging 4.2 yards a carry.

Dallas is among the top bets in Vegas to sign the irrepressible running back after the Titans were unable to sign Henry to a long-term contract. If Pollard decides to walk, his powerful running style will be the ideal substitute.

But if the Dallas Cowboys hope to claim King Henry as their own, they might have to make a strong case. Their offensive line needs a significant overhaul because it only gave Pollard and the other running backs room to rush for 1920 yards and 14 touchdowns, which is barely an improvement over what Henry’s Titans accomplished the previous season.

They need to sign or draft impact players on the O-line if they want to attract a dominant rusher like Henry to the team.

Are there other RB options the Dallas Cowboys can target?

If Henry doesn’t seem like the solution to their issues, they’ll check the draft to find someone to replace Pollard.

Michigan running back Blake Corum is suggested by Yardbarker’s Clark Dalton as Pollard’s likely successor come April. In his final season, the Michigan Wolverine amassed 1245 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns, making him a blur on the field. Many Dallas Cowboys supporters will be reassured by his strong running style that they won’t miss Pollard as much.

However, until the offseason gets underway, we have no idea which way the Cowboys will decide to go.
