00:00 There are a lot of top NFL free agents this season, including a lot of running backs.
00:05 Now when you look at this Cowboys roster, you could make the argument that running back
00:09 is very much in flux.
00:11 What do you see out there that might make sense for the Cowboys?
00:14 You know, it's a game of musical chairs, and there's more really good backs than there
00:19 are chairs.
00:20 And so I wouldn't blame Team X.
00:23 This could be the Cowboys.
00:25 This could be Houston.
00:27 This applies a lot of places where we'll just wait.
00:32 Okay, Saquon Barkley, somebody's going to give him $12 million?
00:36 Great, there's one of the chairs.
00:37 I don't know that they are.
00:38 Josh Jacobs, $10 million.
00:40 There goes one of the chairs.
00:42 Austin Eckler, $8 million.
00:44 There goes a chair.
00:45 And again, I'm just making up these numbers as we go along.
00:47 Well eventually, Tony Pollard or Devin Singletary or Swift from Philadelphia, there's going
00:56 to be that next level of guy, and they're going to be sitting there, and nobody's going
00:59 to be giving them $12 million.
01:01 And that might be the guy the Cowboys sign.
01:03 I still think in this building, in fact I don't think it, I know it, if they had to
01:08 predict it would be we're going to draft a running back who might start for us, certainly
01:13 as opposed to going out and giving $10 million, which is the estimate SpotTrack says on Derrick
01:18 Henry, $10 million.
01:21 This organization, I just don't believe, is going to do that.
01:24 You can make an argument that they should, but then you watch other teams in the NFL
01:29 and how they operate, and you see Christian McCaffrey making his 16, but nobody else.
01:35 And maybe the Chiefs are an aberration, because if you have Patrick Mahomes, it fixes a lot
01:41 of things, but there's a lot of good teams that don't pay their running backs $12 million.
01:46 And there's some bad teams that do.
