GOOD NEWS: Cowboys See RB As Outside Our Means; Derrick Henry Is Answering Calls…
FRISCO – Tony Pollard, the starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys and a native of Memphis, is using NFL free agency to join with the Tennessee Titans. Despite his departure from The Star, “America’s Team” may yet provide an upgrade at the position.
However, there is one issue…
While Josh Jacobs has also moved (to the Packers), Austin Ekeler has moved to the Commanders, and the most elite running back in the league, Saquon “Sickening” Barkley, has signed with the Eagles in a double-defeat for Dallas, Derrick Henry is still taking calls as of this writing.
The Baltimore Ravens have been on the phone, as we are aware.

However, there is one issue: Henry and the Cowboys? The exact story we’ve been covering for the entire time: Dallas is suddenly prioritising the 30-year-old two-time NFL rushing champion, despite his need, respect, and lengthy ownership of an off-season house in DFW.
Should Henry remain inactive for a longer period of time? We’ll keep you informed about any potential shift in Dallas’ perspective. There has been talk that Baltimore will offer Henry a two-year, $20 million deal; that we do not know, though it would be a pay cut for Henry, who’s coming off a $12.5 million season in Tennessee.

She has been informed that the Cowboys are “shopping within means.”
Purchasing. Inside. Limits.
That is obviously the reverse of being “all in,” since it suggests that the Cowboys head management hasn’t changed their ten-year conviction that it is best to avoid paying top dollar for players who aren’t domestic.
Is the method inherently flawed? No.
If winning a Super Bowl is the ultimate aim, has the strategy been successful? No.
Henry had a successful year just past. Henry gained 1,167 yards and 12 touchdowns from rushing on 280 carries. While it is possible that the Titans’ offensive line had a poor season, his lifetime average of 4.7 yards per carry was lower last year at 4.2.
He’s a player that could make a difference for Dallas. If the Cowboys so want, they can afford him. He deserves to be called. Oh, and the Cowboys don’t even need to pay for a long-distance call because he’s right here in town!
