Overview
- Multiple analysts on Monday recommended that Dallas consider free agent Nick Chubb as a No. 2 or No. 3 running back behind Javonte Williams.
- The Cowboys’ depth behind Williams is described as thin, with Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah viewed as uncertain options.
- Chubb, 30, logged 122 carries for 506 yards and three touchdowns with the Texans in 2025, showing he can still contribute on limited work.
- Evaluators pitch Chubb as an early-down power back who can handle short-yardage snaps and catch checkdowns after returning from a 2023 knee injury and a 2024 foot fracture.
- Coverage notes the fit could come at a low cost for a cap-conscious roster, with some speculation about a summer workout and no reported move by Dallas yet.
