Nope. Maybe they were just posturing, but they said they initially entered in trade discussions with Dallas, but because Drew preferred to become a free agent, they decided to accommodate him and grant him his unconditional release.
Moreover, they asked Drew if he would come back to become the backup. He declined, and they released him early on in the season. Are they doing anything similar for Travis? Travis has said he will not accept a backup role here, so why not expedite the process rather than drag it on? The author has a point about the market for running backs.
We'll see how it turns out I guess.
