The Dallas Cowboys currently sit in third place in the NFC East with a 3-3 record. Not the start that many Dallas fans expected, given the team is coming off three straight 12-win seasons.
Many analysts have pegged Dallas as buyers at the trade deadline to try to find one more piece for a Super Bowl run. However, there is one star who won’t be joining forces.
Cowboys: NFC Star Shuts Down Trade To Dallas “That’s A Lie” (Report)
According to journalist Sean Deveney:
Getting Kamara to the Cowboys was an idea floated by former NFL quarterback and analyst Robert Griffin III, who wrote on Twitter/X:
“If the New Orleans Saints continue to stink up the joint these next few weeks, the Dallas Cowboys should see if they are in sell mode and trade for Alvin Kamara.”
Alvin Kamara Is Not Looking to Be Traded
That does make some sense. Kamara is in the fourth year of a five-year, $75 million contract, though the Saints have pushed a lot of that money to next season, when Kamara is on the books for a $29 million cap hit, which would require a restructure from the team and Kamara.
But when the notion of a Kamara-Cowboys link began making the rounds on Twitter/X, Kamara himself chimed in. One since-deleted report suggested Kamara had requested a trade.
“I ain request a trade.. so that’s a lie. I’m in an orange robe on the way to Knoxville.. #WhoDat,” he wrote.
Dallas will need to address the run game sooner rather than later. They currently rank dead last in the NFL is rush yards per game with just over 77. Rico Dowdle is currently listed as Dallas’ #1 running back, here are his season stats:
