The Rams and running back Lance Dunbar agreed to a one-year deal, a source told Adam Caplan of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The contract could pay him up to $3MM, Caplan adds. It’s presently unclear how much Dunbar gets in guarantees and base pay. 
Dunbar was third on the Cowboys’ depth chart last season behind star Ezekiel Elliott and veteran Alfred Morris. Morris remains under contract in Dallas, so there wasn’t much of an opportunity for Dunbar to get playing time there in 2017. The Cowboys either didn’t make a strong effort to retain Dunbar or, at minimum, any push to keep him didn’t make it to the press.
In 2016, Dunbar had just nine carries and 16 receptions. Now, in sunny Los Angeles, he could be the clear-cut No. 2 running back, depending on what the team does between now and training camp. Todd Gurley will be the starter but the only other tailbacks on the roster are former undrafted free agents Malcolm Brown and Aaron Green. With his pass-catching skill, he could play a role similar to Chris Thompson in Sean McVay‘s former Redskins offense.
