Their uncertain futures has prompted plenty of Cowboys rumors about potential replacement options.
Bleacher Report’s Joe Tansey floated a couple possible options, including Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert. The veteran is coming off a career year already posting 18 total touchdowns with four games remaining this season.
Tansey ponders if Miami would be willing to move Mostert for a “day 2 or day 3 draft pick.” The Dolphins also have De’Von Achane who could gain more touches without Mostert.
Trades Cowboys Must Consider in 2024 NFL Offseason.” “The Miami Dolphins may be willing to maketheir No. 1 running back in the offseason and that could limit carries for the 31-year-old Mostert.
“Mostert showed throughout the season that he has not lost a step yet despite his age. The Cowboys could send a Day 2 or 3 draft pick to Miami for Mostert, who is only scheduled to make $2.3 million next season, per Spotrac,” Tansey continues.
“Dallas could replicate exactly what Miami is doing this season with Mostert and Achane. The Cowboys could select a late-round running back and hope he develops under Mostert as they look to find their stars of the future.”

There could be some “sell high” thought for the Dolphins front office. Yet, would it be worth a mid-round pick for Miami to lose Mostert’s production?
Mostert is also on a team-friendly two-year, $5.6 million contract. The running back will have $3.3 million cap hit in 2024, more than reasonable given his level of production.
Heading into Week 15, Mostert has 183 carries for 924 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. Mostert also added 22 receptions for 170 yards and 2 TDs through the air.
