"With the band back together, the Cowboys offense should once again be one of the better units in the league in 2026. That doesn't mean they should be complacent though. There are some areas they can still stand to improve upon, such as running back behind Javonte Williams. As things stand right now, the Cowboys have Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah competing with one another to fill out the depth chart behind Javonte Williams. Out of the three Blue is the most intriguing and has the most upside, but none of them really inspires much confidence if something were to happen to Williams."
"Despite having a career year, rushing for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, No. 33 started to wear down towards the end of the season last year. To help keep him as fresh as possible throughout the season and for a potential push into the playoffs, Dallas would be wise to upgrade the depth behind him."
"That brings us to current Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson. Benson was a third-round pick (66th overall) in the 2023 NFL Draft. So far this offseason Arizona has signed Tyler Allgeier, re-signed James Conner, and drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall to upgrade the RB position. That doesn't bode well for Trey Benson. To date, Benson has only rushed for 451 yards and one touchdown in 17 career games with two starts in his two seasons in Arizona. His lack of production doesn't exactly scream "trade for me", but his untapped potential does."
"The 6'0", 220-pound RB with 4.39 speed could be of interest to several teams around the league, particularly the Cowboys. Benson already has ties to the Cowboys via Klayton Adams, Arizona's former OL coach, now Dallas' offensive coordinator. Adams w"
The Cowboys plan to keep their offense largely consistent by using the franchise tag on George Pickens and re-signing Javonte Williams. The team has prioritized defensive improvements, and the offense is expected to remain among the league’s better units in 2026. Even with that stability, running back depth behind Javonte Williams remains a concern. Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah compete for the backup role, but none inspires strong confidence if Williams misses time. Williams produced 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, yet showed late-season wear. Trey Benson of the Arizona Cardinals is presented as a potential upgrade despite limited production, with size and speed that suggest untapped value. Connections to Dallas exist through Klayton Adams, Arizona’s former offensive line coach now serving as Dallas’ offensive coordinator.
