Miles Sanders, a former running back for the Carolina Panthers, has agreed to a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. This move marks Sanders' return to the NFC East, having started his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys are bolstering their backfield, which now includes Sanders alongside fellow free agent signing Javonte Williams. This addition comes after the Cowboys' leading rusher from the previous season, Rico Dowdle, signed with the Panthers. The Cowboys may still look to draft a running back, which could impact the position of Deuce Vaughn. Sanders' performance in Carolina was underwhelming, with only 637 rushing yards and three touchdowns over two seasons, during the Bryce Young era. In 2024, he had 55 carries for 205 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 3.7 yards per carry. The Cowboys hope that pairing him with Williams will enhance their rushing attack, potentially alleviating pressure on quarterback Dak Prescott and the passing game.
