Tony Pollard (ankle) officially tagged by Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (ankle) has been placed with the franchise tag.
What It Means:
Pollard and the Cowboys have until July to agree on a long-term contract, but if they fail to do so, the running back franchise tag will pay him $10.09 million in 2023. Ezekiel Elliott is expected to restructure his contract to stay in Dallas, but Pollard receiving the tag increases the odds of Dalton Schultz signing a contract with another team.
Among the 45 running backs with at least 100 carries this season, Pollard averaged the sixth-most Rushing Net Expected Points per carry. He also averaged 13.6 FanDuel points over 16 games, including 23.1 from Weeks 8-14.
