Cowboys Sign Ex-Seahawks Running Back & 6-Foot-3 Receiver Ahead of Playoffs
The Dallas Cowboys continue to make moves as the NFL playoffs near. DallasCowboys.com’s Patrik Walker reports the Cowboys are signing running back SaRodorick Thompson and wide receiver Racey McMath to the team’s practice squad.
“Damien Wilson agreed to terms for Cowboys practice squad,” Walker detailed with a January 3, 2024 message on X. “La’el Collins expected to finalize soon. Also joining: SaRodorick Thompson (RB) + Racey McMath (WR) 📝 Thompson: Irving, TX native and former Red Raider returning home. 🔑 Addition of Thompson doesn’t halt Dalvin Cook interest.”
McMath played two seasons for the Titans, appearing in 14 games from 2021 to 2022. The 6-foot-3, 217 pound physical receiver also had a brief tenure on the Colts practice squad this season.
Thompson had several stints on the Seahawks practice squad this season. The running back had a standout career at Texas Tech. Thompson’s best statistical season came with the Red Raiders in 2019 after posting 160 carries for 765 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. The playmaker also added 39 receptions for 154 yards.
Cowboys Rumors: Dallas Is Expressing an Interest in Dalvin Cook
The running back many Cowboys fans are wondering about is Dalvin Cook, who was released by the Jets heading into Week 18. Dallas could use some help in the backfield, and the team appears to be sniffing around on Cook. CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reports that the Cowboys and Ravens are two teams who have an interest in Cook.
“We’ll see tomorrow if RB Dalvin Cook clears waivers following his departure from the Jets,” Anderson said in a series of January 3 messages on X. “My understanding is one team that may have potential interest down the road on the practice squad is the Baltimore Ravens, though they did not have a spot available this morning.
