Lance Dunbar to return to the Cowboys in 2015

[SigmaGreen]

So with Demarco Murray appearing to leave Dallas for Philly, any thoughts on a replacement or does LD get bumped up? Thoughts?

I could see him get a bump in PT, but they're probably going to draft.

At least, I hope they do, instead of trying to pay Ryan Matthews.

Cowboys get McFadden. I wonder if Peterson is still in their plans. Subtract Murray but add McFadden and Peterson or draft a back and the backfield may be more crowded than it was before.

Ryan Williams, Randle, and McFadden (as lead backs) aren't too exciting. Seeing someone like Gurley go to them at the end of round 1 would be exciting.

Or alternatively, Abdullah in the second, or Ajayi in the 3rd. But these two are not day 1 starters.

Melvin Gordon may also be available in the first.

Tevin Coleman runs a lot like Murray did and you can get him in the late second or third. Use the first round pick, and every other pick besides a RB, to get help on defense.

Apparently Lance has not signed his tender offer yet. I guess he is doing the smart thing and waiting out free agency to see if a better offer comes along.

"With the troubled young Joseph Randall and also sparingly used Lance Dunbar, who still hasn’t signed his 1 year tender, the Cowboys could be looking to pick up the next future full time carrier if Gordon or Gurley find themselves still sitting when the Cowboys are on the clock."

I have always maintained that any NFL contract signed should automatically send a percentage to the college 'farm club' that made it possible.

This would just help further the gap. We do not need them to have another advantage. Maybe perhaps have our administration or athletic department educate on giving and not forgetting where one comes from, but to open up yet another advantageous [to the P5] can of worms would be athletic suicide.
