After signing a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, running back Miles Sanders took to social media – as many athletes do – to reach his fans.
Did he post a thank you letter to his old Carolina Panthers team? A shoutout to Cowboys Nation? How about a cryptic one-liner that needs dissecting to understand?
Nope.
Sanders chose a GIF of owner Jerry Jones as his first post after agreeing with the Cowboys.
Seems like Sanders is happy with his deal in Dallas.
Sanders agreed to a one-year, $1.337 million deal that includes over $1 million in guaranteed money.
The deal feels like a win-win for Sanders and the Cowboys.
The running back gets a new opportunity in a change in scenery to rejuvenate his career, while the Cowboys fill a position hole at a low price.
The former Penn State Nittany Lion is coming off a flopped experiment with the Panthers, only totaling 638 yards in the last two seasons.
Joining Javonte Williams in the backfield, Sanders looks to get back to his Pro-Bowl days from when he was with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2019-2022.
If he can return to top form in Brian Schottenheimer’s “run-heavy” scheme, he’ll leave Cowboys Nation – and Jerry – with a lot to smile about.
