The Dallas Cowboys haven’t made much of a splash during free agency in the first few hours but that soon might change.
On Monday, it was announced that the Green Bay Packers were signing veteran running back Josh Jacobs to a four-year, $48 million contract and releasing Aaron Jones.
Jones was entering the final year of his contract in 2024 and was due $12 million for this season.
His new deal might just come from the same team that he helped eliminate back in January in the Wild Card round. A new rumor suggests that the Dallas Cowboys could be a landing spot for Jones.

Jones had 19 carries for 115 yards and three touchdowns in the Wild Card playoff game in what could be his future home.
Jones finishes his Packers career with the third-most rushing yards in team history with 5,940. His 45 rushing touchdowns rank fourth in franchise history.
