Cowboys news: Dallas named a top fit for free agent running back
Nick Chubb is listed as a top free-agent fit for the Cowboys. He is a former second-team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler whose 2023 knee injury changed his career trajectory. After returning to solid production, he totaled 506 rushing yards and three touchdowns while averaging over four yards per attempt. He could serve as a No. 2 or No. 3 option behind Javonte Williams, contributing as an early-down runner. Chubb can also catch passes on swings and checkdowns. His skill set emphasizes power, vision, and short-yardage effectiveness, including a 520-yard rushing season in Houston. The Cowboys could target an inexpensive one-year deal at age 30.
"“A veteran grinder at this point of his career, Chubb could provide value as the Cowboys' No. 2 or No. 3 option behind starter Javonte Williams,” writes Bowen. “Chubb can still secure catches on swings and checkdowns in the passing game, but he should be viewed as an early-down option who can use his power and vision in short-yardage situations. He rushed for 520 yards in Houston last season.”"
"Following a brutal knee injury in 2023, Chubb's career took a turn. But since then, he has played solid football. Last year, he ran for 506 yards and three touchdowns, averaging over four yards per attempt. Perhaps he's not the same star as before, but as a RB2 behind Williams, he would make plenty of sense."
"At 30 years old, the Cowboys would be looking at an inexpensive one-year deal to add experience with the upside of a running back who once averaged 1,336 yards per season over a four-year stretch (2019-2022)."
