Link to storyFree-agent RB Miles Sanders (Panthers) agreed with the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year deal Friday, March 14. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

He's not the same player he used to be, but Sanders can play on all three downs and be trusted in pass protection (like Williams). The Cowboys are still likely to select a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft, perhaps with a premium pick. |
