The have to addre s the running back position this offseason.  While the expectation is Javonte Williams will be back, the Cowboys need more help behind him with Malik Davis and 2025 draft pick Jaydon Blue being the only other notable running backs under contract in 2026.  How big the Cowboys go will depend on what happens with Williams. If he does not Tatum Bethune Jersey  return, Dallas will need to make a significant move. If Williams does re-sign, the need at running back becomes far le s dire.  Knowing all that, named Dallas as the best landing spot for pending free agent and running back Rachaad White, who is to get a two-year, $15.1 million contract in free agency.  "Regardle s of whether the Cowboys re-sign Williams or not, White would be at his best in the Cowboys' offense," Jahnke wrote.  White was the Bucs' lead back in 2023, when he posted career-highs in rushing yards (991), receiving yards (549) and total touchdowns (nine).  But he has since taken a back seat to Bucky Irving over the past two seasons and White made it quite clear he didn't expect to be back with the Buccaneers in 2026 after a to fans.  Not exactly a revelation there, as it would be cheaper for the Bucs to re-sign Sean Tucker as Irving's backup and opt for le s expensive backs to fill out the room.  As we saw late last season, such a heavy workload for Williams took a toll on him physically, so the Cowboys need a reliable back who can help take some of the pre sure off.  White has proven he can be that guy. Not only is he an effective runner, White is also a plus pa s-catcher and would ensure there won't be a huge drop-off when Williams leaves the field.  Dallas' interest in White will come down to price. The Cowboys won't have any interest in spending significant resources on White, especially if Williams is re-signed to a sizeable contract, which we expect to happen.  At the projection Spotrac gives, Dallas won't be interested. However, we do believe that projection is way too high and instead White is looking at a contract more in line with what Williams got last season, which was one year for $3 million.  The Cowboys could find that price palatable and we could definitely see Dallas deploying a Williams-White backfield in 2026.  More NFL news  Nick Bosa Jersey
