September 22, 2024.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u2018 offense looks to be much improved after a 2024 season that saw them spend significant periods without franchise QB,\u00a0Dak Prescott, and look over-dependant on All-Pro receiver,\u00a0CeeDee Lamb.<\/p>\n<p>Now, packing a brand new guard in the form of first round rookie,\u00a0Tyler Booker, and receiver, George Pickens \u2013 acquired from the Steelers back in May \u2013 the Cowboys\u2019 offense looks set.<\/p>\n<p>Except, perhaps, for the run game, which will be reliant on free agent acquisitions,\u00a0Javonte Williams\u00a0and\u00a0Miles Sanders, alongside fifth round rookies,\u00a0Jaydon Blue\u00a0and\u00a0Phil Mafah.<\/p>\n<p>None of these options project to be home-run hitters straight out of the gate, so Dallas could turn to options via trade to help bolster one of the weakest units on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>And an interesting option could be Los Angeles Rams running back,\u00a0Blake Corum, who might be expendable in Los Angeles just a year after being drafted in the third round of the 2024 draft out of Michigan.<\/p>\n<h2>A Blake Corum Trade Could Be Mutually Beneficial This Offseason<\/h2>\n<p>Corum came as a highly touted prospect in 2024, coming hot off the heels of a national championship win that past season.\u00a0However, he was not able to add much to the Rams\u2019 rushing attack in 2024, producing just yards on the ground, with no touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Now with the Rams looking get an extension done with RB1,\u00a0Kyren Williams, and having just drafted\u00a0Jarquez Hunter\u00a0in the fourth round of April\u2019s draft, Corum could see himself become the third, or even fourth option \u2013 behind\u00a0Ronnie Rivers \u2013 on LA\u2019s depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>So a fresh start in Dallas, where there is no clear starter at the position, could be exactly what the former 2 x All American needs to kickstart what still could be a very promising career in the professional football.<\/p>\n<h2>How Would Corum Fit In With the Cowboys\u2019 Offense?<\/h2>\n<p>Although Williams and Sanders are both recognizable names; both made their respective All-Rookie teams, and Sanders was a Pro Bowler in 2022; the two combined for less than 800 yards in 2024. And that \u2013 in the case of Williams \u2013 was as the team\u2019s designated starter.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders has not found much success since moving down the East Coast from Philadelphia to Carolina, managing less than 700 yards in the two seasons combined since.<\/p>\n<p>And Williams\u2019 once very promising career; he obtained over 900 yards in his rookie season, but has failed to reach that benchmark since; has been derailed by injuries and poor form.<\/p>\n<p>Running back is, unfortunately for the pair, a young man\u2019s game, and Corum certainly still has his youth. Kyren Williams was one of the top backs in football last season, so it is not surprising that Corum\u2019s opportunities were limited.<\/p>\n<p>This move would not be a surefire slam-dunk, but it would give Dallas an opportunity to nurture exceptional talent, and give Corum and opportunity to become the main man at a franchise that, at least on paper, could be ready to compete in the NFC East this fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Dallas Cowboys&#8217; now-head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, elated during a game against the Baltimore Ravens.
