Flier status revoked: Cowboys waive Jaydon Blue
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Dallas Cowboys have waived running back Jaydon Blue, a 2025 fifth-round pick who struggled during his rookie season with just 39 touches and was a healthy scratch in Week 1.
- Despite positive offseason comments from head coach Brian Schottenheimer and a strong preseason showing, Blue was unable to secure the No. 2 running back spot behind Javonte Williams, losing out to veteran Malik Davis.
- Blue's inability to earn pass-catching duties in a backfield that needs such skills raises concerns about his future in the NFL, making him a risky asset in dynasty fantasy leagues despite his youth and initial potential.
- There remains a possibility that Blue or fellow waived sophomore Phil Mafah could return to the Cowboys' 53-man roster after final roster cuts.
