Overview
- Fresh reporting from Heavy and Yahoo Sports cites Bleacher Report identifying Dallas as a top landing spot for Jacksonville’s Travis Etienne should Williams depart.
- Team officials have signaled interest in bringing back Javonte Williams after his breakout 2025, yet his expected market could complicate a return.
- With Williams and Malik Davis hitting free agency, the rostered backs are largely unproven, including Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah and, per Heavy, Israel Abanikanda.
- Evaluators highlight Etienne’s three 1,000-yard seasons and pass-catching chops as a fit for Brian Schottenheimer’s offense.
- Spotrac projects Etienne near two years and $13.6 million as Dallas sits roughly $39 million over the cap, indicating moves would be needed before the March 11 free-agency window.
