Cowboys Could Land 4-Time Pro Bowler to Replace Tony Pollard

Changes will undoubtedly need to be done if the Dallas Cowboys are sincere about

the issues that head coach Mike McCarthy brought up on Thursday,

the day he announced his return to the position despite

the team’s disastrous performance in the playoffs versus Green Bay last weekend.

The Cowboys cannot afford to win 12 games in a row in the fall and then falter in the winter when things get hard.

Taking that into consideration, the Cowboys would be wise to replace their running backs (Tony Pollard was a bust).

Being a free agent, Pollard may choose to join with another team.

The best rushing back of his generation, Derrick Henry of the Titans,

might replace him in the Cowboys starting lineup.

Without a doubt, Henry will want to win when he selects his next team in free agency. Despite all of the Cowboys’ shortcomings, the club is plenty of talent, and Henry—a tough-minded, proven workhorse—might be the right match to make that talent into a genuine contender.

Henry declared his desire to win a Super Bowl when he was a guest on the podcast “Bussin’ With the Boys.” I’m not even close to finished playing. I’m not done yet. I think I can still run for another 2,000, but only time will tell.

Derrick Henry and the Cowboys Might Sign a Bargain Agreement

Yes, Henry is thirty years old, which is old by running back years. He may have changed since rushing for 2,027 yards in 2020, when he became only the eighth player in history to do it. Henry rushed for 1,167 yards this season against a struggling Titans squad, so don’t assume for a second that he has lost his rough-and-tumble ability. During the season’s final game, he notched 153 yards on 19 carries.

This season, Henry tallied four 100-yard games—four times as many as Pollard did for the Cowboys.

And maybe, not at thirty, it wouldn’t be too costly to bring in Henry. He just signed a $50 million, four-year contract with Tennessee, but Spotrac believes he is good for a one-year, bargain-basement deal worth $4.3 million. According to Pro Football Focus, Henry signed a two-year contract worth $20 million in total, which is a little more affordable for a player with his caliber of play.

Henry admitted that he prioritizes winning. However, he won’t give up all cash gain in his upcoming transaction.

“I want to be somewhere that, whatever happens, gives me the best shot at winning the Super Bowl,” Henry said. “The business side, there’s a business side. It has to make sense. I’m not going to just accept anything, at the same time, because it is a long season and we put our bodies through a lot. But I definitely want to be on a roster that can go out there and put ourselves in position to win games and get in the playoffs and contend for a ring.” Return to the Titans Unlikely

Henry did not entirely rule out a return to the Titans, the team that drafted him with the 45th overall pick in 2016. But he said he was surprised that the organization fired coach Mike Vrabel, and that it was clear to him throughout the year that the team was heading in a new direction and was going to rebuild. That could be an opportunity for the Cowboys.

Henry said he knew that was the case when stalwart defensive back Kevin Byard was traded.

Henry remarked, “I was like, ‘Man, they trade KB, I might be out of here too.” “KB seems to embody everything and more when it comes to the Titans. I realized then that things were getting serious. When I initially returned, I had that feeling—it was unquestionably happening. It’s an enterprise. Ultimately, the Tennessee Titans are going to be the ones watching out for themselves.

“Everything has a shelf life; some things expire a little sooner than others. Undoubtedly a distinct year.
