Roster addition: Proposed Cowboys Trade Would Add Up-and-Coming Broncos RB to Roster
The Dallas Cowboys are being linked to a move for Denver Broncos RB Javonte Williams
The Dallas Cowboys‘ 2024 roster is slowly starting to take shape, and it could change further with a trade for a Denver Broncos weapon. While the Cowboys have re-signed Rico Dowdle, they are still lacking a true No. 1 running back heading into the 2024 season.
That’s why Blogging the Boys writer Brian Martin thinks the team should consider Broncos RB Javonte Williams. Williams has been a bright spot on the Denver roster, but is entering a contract year as the team is setting up a rebuild.
“Last season he started 13 games and rushed for 774 yards (3.6 y/a) and two touchdowns,” Martin wrote on March 18. “With the Broncos going through somewhat of a rebuild, Williams could be available via trade considering he’s entering a contract year. With Jaleel McLaughlin potentially waiting in the wings, the Cowboys should place a call to their buddy Sean Payton about Williams’ availability.”
If Denver is committed to a clean slate, trading Williams would make sense. As mentioned above, impressive flashes from McLaughlin only further set up a potential exit for Williams. If that does happen, Dallas could do far worse than the former North Carolina Tar Heel.
