While Jerry Jones continues to say he is happy with the current Dallas Cowboys roster, there are clear holes that need to be addressed.
The team has no running and it's something that has been discussed all season.
Dallas failed to draft a running back or sign a star free agent like Derrick Henry, who happens to be leading the league in rushing, and now they have the worst running back room in the NFL.
If Jerry and company don't want to wait until next season to make a move, there is one running back who should be available at the trade deadline at an affordable price.
Enter Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert.
Bill Burnwell of ESPN.com laid out some potential trade candidates and named Herbert as an option for the Cowboys.
His projected trade offer would only cost the Cowboys a sixth-round draft pick, meaning it would be a no-brainer for the team to inquire.
"There's no Derrick Henry lurking as an immediately impactful back, but what about adding another set of fresh legs to compete with Dowdle? Herbert is probably not the sort of back to shoulder a workload of 20 carries per game, but among the 46 players with 300 carries or more between 2021 and 2023, his 4.9 yards-per-carry average ranks seventh," Burnwell noted.
