Cowboys legend urges Jerry Jones to pursue Nick Chubb to make Dak Prescott-led offense "dangerous"

A year after missing out on Derrick Henry, who admitted his desire to join the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, Dez Bryant is urging his former team to go after another high-profile running back to strengthen their squad.

Nick Chubb, who is yet to sign a deal with the Cleveland Browns or any other team, was named an intriguing option for the Cowboys.

On Tuesday, Bryant tweeted on X to explain how the veteran running back would help the Lone Star's offense, focusing more on rookie Jaydon Blue, who is expected to carry the bigger load for Dallas.

Bryant said:

"If the Cowboys get Chubbs and combine him with Blue..the Cowboys offense will be the most dangerous in the NFL. I really can't find a con if that happens. Think about it.. Blue gets to learn from a dynamic back who plays the game the right way. That's how you mold a young..promising running back. Dak really has a pick-your poison situation..Ceedee or Pickens can put the ball in the end zone anywhere on the field.

"There are so many strategic ways to run the Cowboys offense for success. I think the defense is going to perform, but how well? We know Micah and Diggs are going to perform. I am skeptical to see how these new changes affect the defense. To sum it up..I do think the Boys are trying to win…I think they should make a few more sacrifices to compete with this new improved NFC East division."

Dallas comes from a 7-10 2024 season that resulted in Mike McCarthy's firing. They are ready to start fresh under Brian Schottenheimer after making a few moves in the offseason that put them in a good position to compete.

CeeDee Lamb makes a clear statement on Cowboys' WR hierarchy after George Pickens

Nick Chubb would be the second high-profile addition they make this offseason after George Pickens landed from Pittsburgh.

The wide receiver is joining a room with CeeDee Lamb, one of the best in his position. Speaking on the team's hierarchy, Lamb had a clear message:

"We're both No. 1s," Lamb said in a video posted by NFL analyst Brandon Loree. "It ain't no [1A, 1B situation], none of that. It's No. 1. You look over there, you see No. 1. You look over here, you see another No. 1. So do what you gotta do with that."

After many years of shortcomings, Dallas could be lining up for a special season.
