Cowboys should consider NFL trade deadline reunion with former leading rusher
Most of the attention surrounding the Dallas Cowboys ahead of the NFL trade deadline has been on the defensive side of the ball, and rightfully so.
The Cowboys have an elite offense this season, but their defense has been one of the worst in the NFL. That’s why they’re expected to explore options to shore up their defense to make a second-half run at the playoffs.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t concerns on offense that should be addressed. This includes running back, which might be easy to overlook considering the way Javonte Williams has played.

Williams has been a pleasant surprise, with 633 yards and eight touchdowns through the first eight games of the season. The problem is that no one behind him has proven capable of producing at a consistent level.
Entering Week 9, Miles Sanders is still second on the team with 117 yards, but he’s been on the IR since being injured in Week 4. Rookie Jaydon Blue is the current option at RB2 and he has just 65 yards on 22 attempts.
If Dallas wants to improve behind Williams, they should consider a reunion with their former leading rusher, Tony Pollard, who could be traded by the Tennessee Titans, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
“The players the Titans are fielding the most calls on: DE Arden Key, LB Dre’Mont Jones, RB Tony Pollard and DT T’Vondre Sweat.” – Russini, The Athletic

Pollard had back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns for the Cowboys in 2022 and 2023 before leaving in free agency ahead of the 2024 campaign. He signed a three-year deal worth $21.75 million with the Titans and then ran for 1,079 yards and five touchdowns in his first season with the franchise.
This year, he has 424 yards and two touchdowns, while averaging a career-low 3.9 yards per attempt. It’s hard to blame that solely on Pollard, considering the issues the Titans have had.
Pollard’s trade value isn’t likely to be high, which means the main question for Dallas would be his contract. Would Jerry Jones be willing to take on Pollard’s deal after allowing him to walk in 2024?
One thing that could make him more interested is a potential out in the contract after this season. Jones could see this as a potential one-year rental, giving them a back capable of taking over should something happen to Williams.

DALLAS – Severe thunderstorms are forecast to return to North Texas late Tuesday, bringing threats of damaging hail, high winds and localized flooding. While the primary concerns are wind and hail, a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out.
Tuesday Forecast
Dallas weather: Mar. 10 morning forecast
We have another chance of severe storms starting Tuesday afternoon. Meteorologist Ali Turiano has your forecast and everything you need to know ahead of the storms.
Scattered showers and storms are expected to develop as a dryline to the west moves into the region. Storm conditions are expected to intensify as the day progresses.
The greatest concerns remain damaging winds and large hail. The leading edge of the storm front will likely be the most intense, with the potential for straight-line winds and brief spin-up tornadoes.

Dallas Storms: Timing and Impact
The highest potential for severe weather in the Metroplex is from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., though lingering activity could continue until 2 a.m. Wednesday. Residents are advised to seek shelter immediately if a warning is issued for their area.
7-Day Forecast
A final round of storms is expected Wednesday, primarily between noon and 7 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. These storms carry a threat of half-dollar-sized hail and damaging winds.
Behind this system, North Texas will dry out and briefly cool off. Sunny skies return Thursday with a high in the mid-60s. Temperatures will then warm into the upper 70s on Friday before a sunny weekend with highs in the low 80s.

DALLAS – North Texans will enjoy a brief break today before the next weather system arrives, bringing multiple rounds of storms. A warmup is on the way, with temperatures climbing back into the mid-80s by the weekend.
Monday Forecast
Following a few morning showers in the eastern counties, expect a warm and breezy Monday. High temperatures will climb into the low 80s under partly cloudy skies.
Tuesday Forecast
As an upper-level low-pressure system moves to the west, scattered storms will move into the region Tuesday afternoon. Some of these storms could become severe, with the primary threats being large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.
Simultaneously, storms are expected to develop ahead of a dryline to the west. While the tornado threat remains low in this area, any storms that form could produce large hail and damaging wind gusts.
7-Day Forecast
Those overnight storms should push out to the east by Wednesday morning, but don’t put the umbrella away just yet. As the main weather system moves directly over us Wednesday afternoon, we’ll likely see another round of scattered storms that could still bring with some hail. Once everything finally clears out Wednesday evening, we can look forward to some drier, much more comfortable air moving back into the area.
Thursday will be noticeably cooler, with high temperatures settling in the mid-60s. However, sunshine and a quick warmup are expected by the weekend. Temperatures will rebound into the 80s on Friday and Saturday.
