The Story in 60 Seconds

The Dallas Cowboys have been urged to target New York Jets running back Braelon Allen in a potential trade following offensive backfield struggles. Despite a 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders, Dallas managed only 66 rushing yards on 21 carries, prompting suggestions that the team pursue external reinforcements.

Allen, 22, was a fourth-round pick in 2024 and has one year remaining on his rookie contract after the 2026 season. With Jets running back Isaiah Davis now healthy and Breece Hall leading the backfield, moving Allen could allow New York to recoup draft assets.
