Cowboys: Late draft steal to replace Lance Dunbar

As witnessed firsthand last September, a shifty receiving back like Lance Dunbar is a dangerous weapon in the Dallas Cowboys arsenal.

Before a knee injury claimed his season halfway through Week 4, Dunbar was proving to be a coverage nightmare.

Over the first three games, he’d already racked up 21 receptions for 215 yards.

With a full season of health, Dunbar was on pace to best Danny Woodhead‘s league-leading mark of 755 yards receiving.

The dilemma with re-signing Dunbar has nothing to do with ability. Dallas must decide if $1.5+ million is worth trusting a role player with serious durability issues.
