"The former #Seahawks’ special teams ace is only 25 years old and now finds a new home in Arizona."

Dallas - 25 years young - entered the league as a fourth-round pick in 2020 and has played with the Seattle Seahawks his entire career. 

Dallas has missed just two games in the past three seasons for Seattle and has a career rushing average of 4.2 yards per carry. He's total four rushing touchdowns with one additional receiving score to his name.

Dallas only played 9% of offensive snaps for Seattle in 2023 but did play 62% of special teams plays for the Seahawks. He's never played less than 44% of special teams snaps since entering the league.

Arizona consistently had a top ten special teams squad in DVOA metrics in 2023. 

Dallas is the latest free agency add for Arizona after a busy day for the Cardinals on Monday, adding names such as Sean Murphy-Bunting, Bilal Nichols, Justin Jones and Mack Wilson. 

Dallas joins a Cardinals RB room with James Conner and Michael Carter at the top of the depth chart.
