Cowboys released FB Jamize Olawale.
Olawale opted out of the 2020 season because of COVID-19, and he was barely used the year prior. The 32-year-old veteran will settle for a minimum-dollar contract if he wishes to return.
Cowboys FB Jamize Olawale opted out of the 2020 season.
Olawale has been with Dallas for two seasons. He's caught two passes and recorded a zero as a runner during his time with the Cowboys. He has played on 232 offensive snaps, blocking on nearly every one of them. Olawale is primarily used on special teams, recording 539 special teams snaps for the Cowboys.
Cowboys exercised FB Jamize Olawale's second-year option.
Olawale played 118 snaps over 16 appearances in 2019, failing to record a single carry or catch in those outings. He's totaled two touches since signing with the Cowboys in '18.
Olawale played all 16 games during the 2019 season but failed to receive a touch on offense.
New offensive coordinator Kellen Moore didn't put any more value on the fullback position than Scott Linehan had the year before, and Olawale saw roughly the same workload on offense and special teams as he had in 2018, getting zero carries and failing to haul in either of his two targets. He has two years remaining on his current contract, but with the Cowboys potentially switching offensive schemes again under new head coach Mike McCarthy, there's no guarantee Olawale will fit into the team's 2020 plans, even in a blocking role.
