The Dallas Cowboys have re-signed running back Rico Dowdle to a one-year contract worth $1.255M, including a $200K signing bonus, ensuring his return to the team following a season where he rushed 89 times for 361 yards and scored 4 touchdowns. The 25-year-old's performance last season, described as his best and healthiest, has impressed head coach Mike McCarthy and has been a key factor in the decision. This move comes after the departure of Tony Pollard, providing some stability to the Cowboys' running backs room, which has been considered unstable. Additionally, the Cowboys are still showing interest in drafting running back Jonathan Brooks from the Longhorns, signaling further efforts to bolster their running back lineup.
