DeeJay Dallas News
Monday, February 16, 7:52 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Monday that they re-signed running back DeeJay Dallas to an undisclosed deal. Dallas appeared in only six regular-season games in 2025, split between the Carolina Panthers and the Jaguars. He only saw three rushing attempts for 21 yards and didn't catch his only target in the passing game. The 27-year-old also contributed on special teams, returning 12 kickoffs for 321 yards. He was a healthy scratch in the Wild-Card Round loss to the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs. Dallas most likely will face an uphill battle for playing time in Jacksonville in 2026, but he could have more of a chance for a role in the Jags' backfield if the team lets Travis Etienne Jr. walk as a free agent. The former fourth-rounder by the Seattle Seahawks in 2020 out of Miami has a total of 124 rushing attempts for 538 yards and four touchdowns in his six years in the NFL with four different teams.

Phil Mafah News
Monday, January 5, 11:00 AM
Dallas Cowboys running back Phil Mafah got his first taste of NFL action in Week 18 against the New York Giants and finished the game with 29 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on seven touches. A seventh-round pick out of Clemson in the 2025 NFL draft, Mafah spent most of his rookie season on Injured Reserve with a shoulder injury. He got his chance to make an impression in Week 18 due to injuries to Cowboys running backs Javonte Williams (shoulder, neck) and Malik Davis (calf, eye). Heading into 2026, the Cowboys' running back room is in flux. Williams was the team's clear RB1 throughout the 2025 season, but he will hit free agency and is uncertain to be retained. Davis is also a free agent, though Dallas holds his restricted free agent rights. Depending on how the Cowboys choose to address the running back position this offseason, Mafah could find himself battling with 2025 fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue for a role in the Dallas backfield.
