The Dallas Cowboys continue to befuddle their already frustrated fan base by making a big trade to acquire All-Pro defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, despite holding a discouraging 3-5-1 record. This move, coming just a day after a 27-17 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals, has stirred more feelings of resentment, especially concerning the earlier Micah Parsons trade.

While time will tell if this active deadline strategy yields beneficial long-term results, the organization also made a possibly overlooked roster decision amid all the excitement. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dallas is waiving running back Malik Davis.

Davis, a 2022 undrafted player out of Florida, logged just one carry for three yards against Arizona and will now look to continue his career elsewhere. Interestingly, Jaydon Blue was a healthy scratch on Monday’s game, so this move might open opportunities for him. Alternatively, the Cowboys could be clearing roster space for another rookie running back.

Former Clemson star Phil Mafah has yet to make his NFL debut due to a shoulder injury but appears to be making progress. This development suggests that the Third-Team All-ACC selection may soon be activated from injured reserve. During his final season with the Tigers, Mafah rushed for 1,115 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Cowboys have not faced the running back dilemma many predicted before the season, with Javonte Williams averaging an impressive 5.2 yards per carry. However, the team clearly needs depth at the position. For now, Malik Davis will not be part of the franchise’s plan to bolster that depth. Across two stints with Dallas, he has totaled 41 carries for 167 yards and one touchdown.

As the Cowboys continue to adjust their roster, fans will be watching closely to see how these moves impact the team’s performance moving forward.
