The emergence of running back Tony Pollard last season was enough for the Cowboys to part ways with fan-favorite backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott. It was a cost-saving move for Dallas, which then used the franchise tag on Pollard. Moving on from Elliott all but cemented the fact the team was passing the torch to Pollard as its new No. 1 back.
At least for the 2023 season, it seems.
As ESPN's Todd Archer first revealed, Pollard’s outlook beyond this coming season is cloudy at best. Archer believes it’s “highly likely” this year will be Pollard’s last with the Cowboys.
