3 possible Tony Pollard replacements Cowboys could sign in 2024 free agency

2. D'Andre Swift

Stealing Swift from the Eagles makes him even more attractive option, but he profiles similar to Pollard in terms of explosiveness and ability to double as a pass-catcher and make defenders miss in the open field.

The only caveat with Swift is his durability, which is ultimately what prompted Detroit to ship him to Philly for a 2023 seventh-round pick and a fourth-round pick in 2025.

For context, Swift has played 40 of a possible 50 games over his first three years. He's missed at least three games in every season, which is a shame because he's been efficient when healthy, averaging 4.6 yards per carry in his career, including 5.5 YPC in 2022, which was ultimately slowed by a high-ankle sprain.

It'd be easy to label Swift a injury prone player, but the Lions did him zero favors with their injury management last season. The relationship seemingly soured by the end of the season, and he lands in a great spot in the Eagles' run-centric offense to ink a multi-year contract next offseason.

Swift was the No. 35 overall pick three years ago for a reason. He's an exciting young RB who'd look better with a star on his helmet than a set of wings.
