Cowboys 2026 offseason preview: Running backs
"Jaydon Blue - One of two intriguing rookies from last year's draft, Blue spent most of 2025 in the coaches' doghouse. He did some much-needed flashing in the finale, posting 64 yards and his only touchdown against the Giants. It was hardly enough to say he should be the starter next season, or even worth considering, but it at least helped keep him in the conversation for a roster spot."
"Javonte Williams - The Big Kahuna Burger of this entire discussion, Williams' future drives everything. After 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns, he will command considerably more now than the $3 million Dallas got away with paying him last year. Williams showed he can be a bell cow, and much of his production came from extending plays with his own power and talent"
The Cowboys face a 2026 offseason decision: pay Javonte Williams market value after a 1,201-yard, 11-touchdown breakout or pursue cheaper alternatives. Javonte Williams demonstrated bell-cow ability and will demand a substantially larger contract than the $3 million he received last year. Jaydon Blue flashed late with 64 yards and a touchdown but remains an uncertain option. Phil Mafah spent most of the year on IR and must compete for a roster spot. Israel Abanikanda joined the practice squad and signed a futures deal. Hunter Luepke provides multi-role value through 2027 as blocker, special teamer, occasional weapon, and emergency tight end depth.
