Cowboys Eye James Conner for Backfield Depth

0:00On March 4th, free agency is heating up, and the Dallas Cowboys might target veteran running back James Conner if the Arizona Cardinals let him go. Reports say the Cardinals could release the 31-year-old soon, and Dallas sees him as a solid backup option, despite a decent backfield already. In place, the Cowboys just resign their star-runner Javante Williams after his strong season with over 1,000 rushing yards and double digit. Touchdowns Behind him, they've got second-year players Jaden Blue and Phil Maffa, plus Malik Davis, all with limited experience so far. Conner brings proven production, including two 1,000-yard rushing seasons and plenty of touchdowns. He thrived under the Cowboys' current offensive coordinator during his best years with Arizona, posting over 1,000 yards each time. Sure, there are risks with his age and a recent ankle injury that sidelined him much of last season, but he excels and shared backfields without needing heavy carries, offering a bruising style that matches Williams perfectly as insurance.

1:02If Conner hits the market, Dallas looks like a natural next stop to add depth and stability without shaking up their young group.
