There is a way for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to reinvent the Triplets. All Jones has to do is make a deal with the Miami Dolphins, the future owners of next year's No. 1 draft choice.
Arkansas running back Darren McFadden may have finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting, but he's the best player in next April's draft. Some scouts believe McFadden is as good a running back as this season's sensation, Minnesota's Adrian Peterson. And McFadden has another ingredient — he is a very natural, fluid receiver. He's a bigger Marshall Faulk, the Rams' former MVP.
You know the former Triplets — Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin, all three of them Hall of Famers. Well, Jones has secured Tony Romo, has Terrell Owens, and if you put McFadden in that Dallas offense, look out NFL.
The Dolphins, who have heavily invested in injured running back Ronnie Brown, probably don't believe McFadden is the right player for them. Jones could trade his two first-round picks (he picked up Cleveland's in the Brady Quinn trade) and either a player like Patrick Crayton or even Marion Barber. I would say everyone on the Dallas roster is available except for DeMarcus Ware, Jason Witten and Romo. Give them Roy Williams, anything to get McFadden.
Jones has an interest in McFadden, considering he also played at Arkansas. That's where he met Jimmy Johnson, remember? It would be a coup to land the Arkansas runner, and Jones has the ammunition that may interest the Dolphins, who probably aren't that excited about paying $60 million to a first-round pick. And we all know that isn't a problem with Jones, writing the big check.
