Former Cowboys player resorted to social media on Friday to recruit Giants halfback Saquon Barkley. The Penn State standout is slated to enter the free agent market this offseason. Last summer, New York giants had the potential to sign him to a contract, but they chose to sign Daniel Jones instead.
We all know how that relocation turned out for them. New York had a poor season, and Jones did not even play eight games. Despite his poor performance, the quarterback is expected to have a much better season. However, as a result of this decision, the Giants are likely to lose Barkley.
The Cowboys, like New York, are preparing for their lead back to enter free agency. Tony Pollard struggled with play concepts and an ineffective line. It wouldn’t be surprising if Dallas let him go, but they might be able to keep him on a reasonable contract.

If Dallas moves on from Pollard, Barkley is one of the best running backs available. He has had moments of pure glory throughout his career, as well as seasons cut short due to injury. Although Barkley’s injury history is concerning, he has the capacity to contribute to the club.
Barkley averaged 3.9 yards per carry in 2023, rushing for just under 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in 14 games. This was a bad year for the New York back in terms of statistics, but on a team like the Cowboys with a superstar in Cee Dee Lamb, it might greatly improve his game.
Dallas has very little cap room. To pursue free agent talent like Barkley, the Cowboys would have to move guys that take up cap space, like as Michael Gallup, and restructure large contracts.
Barkley’s market is projected to be in the $8-10 million bracket; it will be more expensive than someone like Derrick Henry, but Barkley is still in his “prime age”. To acquire Barkley, Dallas just needs additional cap space. Expect another season in which the Cowboys find a way to free up space via restructuring contracts.
