Cowboys trade idea sends 2,691-yard RB to Dallas  image

This offseason, the Dallas Cowboys attacked the running back position in a significant way.

The team signed two veteran running backs, Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, and drafted Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah.

Even though the Cowboys made four different additions to the running back room, the team could still try to upgrade the position before training camp.

Kristopher Knox from Bleacher Report thinks the Cowboys should try to trade for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr.

"The Dallas Cowboys should already be calling about Etienne's availability," Knox wrote. "They currently have a backfield headlined by Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders—two big question marks, given their recent production—and have shown a willingness to trade for talent post-draft."

Etienne is entering his fifth NFL season and has rushed for 2,691 yards and 18 scores over 49 games.

The 26-year-old running back missed all of his rookie season in 2021 with an injury but hasn't missed more than two games in a season since then.

If the Cowboys want to add another running back to their roster before training camp, giving the Jaguars a call for Etienne wouldn't be a bad idea.
