Ezekiel Elliott Returns to Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys and Running Back Agree to Terms

In a surprising turn of events, running back Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms on a new contract, pending a physical. Elliott spent one season with the New England Patriots before returning to where he started his NFL career.

Return to Big D

Elliott will count $6 million on the Cowboys' 2024 salary cap in dead money from his first stint in Dallas. His new contract will be applied in addition to that, according to staff writer Michael Gehlken.

A Career Low

In 2023, Elliott finished with a career-low 35 yards per carry, rushing for 642 yards and three touchdowns on 184 carries. Despite this, the Cowboys believe that Elliott still has plenty to contribute to the team.

Conclusion

The return of Ezekiel Elliott to the Dallas Cowboys is a significant move that could have major implications for the team's success in the upcoming season. Elliott's experience, leadership, and running ability will be a valuable asset to the Cowboys as they look to make a deep playoff run.
