With Alfred Morris still on the roster, the Cowboys are where they were last year at the running back position. It appears either Morris or Darren McFadden will become the odd-man out come the start of the season.
Morris’ salary, combined with his inability to play special teams, place him on the bubble.
The Cowboys put Morris on the trade block this offseason but thus far have not moved the five-year veteran. They believe Morris needs an offense that provides him with more carries than what the Cowboys give their backup running back.
Morris and McFadden combined for only 93 carries for 330 yards and no touchdowns last season as feature back Ezekiel Elliott had 322 carries and 32 receptions in 716 offensive snaps in the regular season.
