Twitter mailbag: Cowboys' running game will be heavy on Elliott

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' Twitter mailbag is ready.

In it we discuss:

  • One running back or two?

  • The Week 1 defensive line

  • Trading Ronald Leary

Away we go:

@toddarcher: I don’t think the odds are very high. The Cowboys had discussions with teams around the draft about a potential trade but didn’t find anything to their liking. The Tennessee Titans lost guard Byron Bell to an ankle injury this week, so perhaps that spurs on some action. If -- and it’s a big if -- something goes down, I would think it would be around training camp if teams get a little more desperate or if there are more injuries. While Leary has not had any trouble with a knee injury that caused teams to pass on him in the draft when he entered the league, teams are still going to be cautious. Plus, he is signed for just one season. To get the best value, he would likely have to agree to some kind of extension before a deal gets done. Teams aren’t going to give up a lot for a player on the final year of his deal, especially a guard. I hate to minimize the value of the position, but it’s true.
