IRVING, Texas (AP) — Darren McFadden wants to be one of the replacements for NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray.
If he is one of two, or even three, running backs trying to match the production Murray gave NFC East champion Dallas last season, that's fine, too. McFadden is used to it.
"It's something I've done pretty much throughout my career, at school or being with the Raiders," said McFadden, the fourth overall pick out of Arkansas by Oakland in 2008. "It's one of those deals, it's the NFL, it's a long season."
The Cowboys are familiar with McFadden's history, starting with owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones being fellow Razorbacks.
