Officially franchise tagged The Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Pollard (ankle) on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The transaction sets Pollard up to play out the 2023 campaign on a one-year, $10.1 million dollar contract, though both sides have until July to keep negotiating on a long-term agreement. Pollard being franchise tagged has widely been the expected outcome out of Dallas, and the team could still attempt to work out a restructure with Ezekiel Elliott this offseason. In any case, with Pollard reportedly on track for training camp after undergoing ankle surgery in late January, he enters his age-26 season in prime position to be a difference-maker for fantasy purposes. He broke out with a career-high 1,378 yards from scrimmage and 12 total touchdowns across 16 games while sharing the backfield with Elliot last season.

Should be ready for training camp The Cowboys expect Pollard (leg/ankle) to be ready for training camp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pollard broke his fibula and suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Cowboys' divisional-round loss to the 49ers and underwent surgery to address the ankle issue. The pending free agent finished the 2022 season with 1,378 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns, and based on Machota's report, it sounds like Dallas is expected to retain the star running back, though it's unclear if that'll be through an extension or via the franchise tag. Either way, it's a positive sign to see Pollard still on track with his rehab, and if healthy, he should one of the more sought-after running backs in fantasy drafts this summer.
