The Dallas Cowboys could still use some help at running back, and longtime playmaker Kareem Hunt remains a free agent. Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox put together a list of the best remaining free agents along with the top landing spots for each veteran. The analyst makes the argument for the Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers being the best fits for Hunt.
“A surprisingly active early market for running backs has left virtually no starting-caliber options,” Knox wrote in a June 1, 2024 story titled, “Best Remaining 2024 NFL Free Agents Still Available Entering June.” “A few former starters, like Dalvin Cook, Cam Akers and Marlon Mack, are out there. However, Kareem Hunt is the top available back based on skill sets and 2023 production.
“… Teams staring down a questionable backfield committee entering the summer should think long and hard about adding Hunt. Hunt would be a solid insurance addition behind Gus Edwards and the oft-injured J.K. Dobbins for the Los Angeles Chargers. He’d make a lot of sense for the Dallas Cowboys too, who are set to rely on Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Royce Freeman.”
