Trace is in a tough spot because he has suffered two major knee injuries and wasn't going to be as effective as he was his first two years before the injuries! Good Luck Young man! Richardson has not shown the promise that he displayed as a freshman and has not been able to average at least a 4.0 ypc average the last two years!

Yeah, not sure about the Ford move, maybe just feels a different place and he doesn't get injured again? I think Richardson saw the writing on the wall with Ollie Gordon maturing.

I hate to lose any players, but this is the way its going to be going forward. It's unpleasant, but it is the new reality.

Trace tried so hard to stay healthy. It is a shame. I appreciate both players.

Without an offensive line that can run block, I don't blame Dominic for getting out of Dodge and finding a program where he can showcase his talents and get to the NFL. Same for Trace. Got to get off a sinking ship and find a stage. Good luck to both Cowboys for life!
