Free Agent Overview: McFadden Still Productive, Versatile Option

With the NFL offseason now officially underway, it’s never too early to start focusing on the next order of business, which is free agency. The Cowboys have 20 unrestricted free agents who can sign with other teams starting on March 9, unless they strike a new deal with the Cowboys before then.

Over the next two weeks, DallasCowboys.com staff writers will break down each free agent, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses and the possibilities of a return in 2017.

Today, we’ll look at running back Darren McFadden.

What’s The Deal: When the Cowboys signed McFadden two years ago, there was a sense of excitement that he could perhaps take over the starting running back position after DeMarco Murray left in free agency.
