The Cowboys needed a running back to replace Murray and the best man for the job is someone that runs just like him. McFadden is just a faster version but the two are so similar right down to both of them playing 16 games in a regular season for the first time in their respective careers in 2014.
McFadden needed an offensive line and to be on an offense where he’s not the only threat. And at the same time, it was the Cowboys the McFadden grew up a fan of out in Arkansas. Then you have Jones, who’s from Arkansas, went to University of Arkansas and would surely give McFadden the opportunity to play for his childhood team, helping it get to the Super Bowl.
This is the perfect match.
