The Dallas Cowboys running back room is far from terrible, as Javonte Williams is coming off a breakout campaign that saw him finish in the top-10 in carries (No. 10), rushing yards (No. 9), and touchdowns (No. 8).
However, the franchise’s depth could use some work, as the next RB in line finished the 2025-26 season with 52 carries (one less than quarterback Dak Prescott), 250 rushing yards (only 73 more than Prescott), and two touchdowns (tied with Prescott).
Adding a five-time Pro Bowl RB with 86 career touchdowns (rushing and receiving) this offseason could be the answer to the Cowboys’ problems in the backfield, at least that’s what Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox thinks.
“While (Alvin) Kamara is on the roster now, that could change after June 1,” Knox wrote Thursday. “After that date, the Saints would save $456,741 in cap space by trading him. Moving him before June 1 would cost $7.6 million in additional 2026 cap space.”
“While New Orleans is unlikely to get a massive return for an aging back, Kamara's dual-threat ability should warrant some interest from running back-needy teams. The Saints will be more likely to accept a bargain offer once the cap hit of moving Kamara becomes more manageable. Potential Suitors: Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs.”
Adding Kamara to the fold would give the Cowboys one of the most dynamic RB units in the league. Although Kamara’s 2025-26 campaign was the worst of his career (131 carries for 471 yards and one touchdown from a rushing standpoint, and 33 receptions for 186 receiving yards and zero touchdowns from a receiving front), he’s still one of the most elusive and well-rounded running backs in the league.
Kamara recently expressed his excitement about teaming up with Etienne in New Orleans, but that doesn’t rule out a blockbuster deal involving the former third-round pick.
It’ll be up to the Cowboys to convince the Saints to send their two-time All-Pro star to Dallas before the new season commences.
