On NFL trade deadline day, the first sign of the Dallas Cowboys making a move doesn't have anything to do with a trade. Instead, it's about a potential free-agent addition.

After the injury to running back Tyler Goodson, the Cowboys' need for RB help became very clear. While they could trade for one, there is an intriguing free agent option they're taking a look at.

According to ESPN's Todd Archer, the Cowboys are hosting former New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller on a free agent visit on Tuesday to see if he'll be a good fit for the Cowboys amid their RB injury issues.

Cowboys to host RB Kendre Miller on free agent visit

"Per sources, the Cowboys have RB Kendre Miller coming in for a visit today as they look for help after Tyler Goodson (knee) was hurt vs. the Colts," Archer reports.

Miller was a third-round selection by the Saints back in 2023, taken at No. 71 overall, and has played in all four seasons with the Saints.

He has 656 career rushing yards and five touchdowns on 184 attempts in his career, including 159 yards and two touchdowns in 2026 before he was released by the Saints before Week 9.

Now, he's taking a free agent visit with the Cowboys and could sign as early as Tuesday to give Dallas some much-needed RB depth, as Goodson's knee injury will likely keep him out for a few weeks.

Miller is 24 years old and is an intriguing depth option for the Cowboys. He's probably their best free agent option, so if Jerry Jones and the Cowboys could pull this off, it would be a nice pickup for a team in dire need of running back help.

Javonte Williams remains the lead back, but with Goodson set to miss some time, Dallas needs a running back. Miller is coming to Dallas for a free agent visit, and this could end up being the Cowboys' lone addition on deadline day.
