Tony Pollard won't be signing a long-term deal in 2023. So what comes next?
This has felt like a given since Pollard signed his franchise tag all the way back in March, but what's been long suspected is now a matter of record. The NFL's deadline to negotiate with tagged players passed on Monday afternoon, and with no deal in place, Pollard will play the upcoming season on the $10.09 million tag.It honestly seems like a rare win-win for club and player.
, for the first time since signing Ezekiel Elliott to an ill-fated mega extension in 2019, have flexibility at the position.Extend Pollard In a world where a player of Sanders' caliber is signing a four-year, $25 million deal with just $13 million in guarantees, it's at least believable that the market for Pollard's services won't be as intense as in years past.Never forget how much control NFL clubs actually have in this process, because the Cowboys could potentially use the franchise tag on Pollard again next year. It's incredibly unlikely, as there are several other big ticket free agents to worry about.
The only problem is the strain such large cap charges would put on the Cowboys' finances, especially with big deals to negotiate for Diggs, Lamb, Prescott and even Micah Parsons. That more than anything is what makes this untenable.Pollard figures to be the lead back in Dallas this year, and I wrote last week what a huge opportunity that should be for him.
Malik Davis is another fun, young player — one who managed to appear in 12 games as a rookie despite making the roster as an undrafted free agent. And, somewhat shockingly, Ronald Jones II is only just now turning 26 despite spending five years in the NFL. It's not far-fetched to think he could revitalize his career in an offense as stacked as the one in Dallas.
