NFL News: Star running back wants to play for Jerry Jones and Cowboys

Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys failed once again in their attempt to win the Super Bowl with a disappointing 7-10 record. As a result, Brian Schottenheimer is the new head coach of the team, replacing Mike McCarthy.

Now, the big challenge for Jones is to improve the roster given the obstacle of the salary cap. The owner must consider several factors, including a historic contract extension for Micah Parsons.

On offense, the good news is that Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are secured long-term, so the missing piece is undoubtedly a running back. The gem that could boost the Cowboys might be waiting for them in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Who will the Cowboys draft in 2025?

Ashton Jeanty could be the player the Dallas Cowboys select with their first-round pick in the 2025 Draft. At the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, the star running back from Boise State reiterated his excitement about the possibility of playing alongside Dak Prescott.

“You know, just the fact that I grew up there and played high school football out there. I had games in their practice stadium. So, it would be dope. My goal is just to go out there and win games. Play the best I can.”

However, another option for Jeanty could be the Raiders, with their new coach Pete Carroll, who is known for prioritizing the running game on teams like the Seahawks in the NFL and USC in college football. “Yeah. I think that would be a great opportunity, especially with the history of Pete Carroll running the football. I mean, that’s a great opportunity as well.”
