This weekend, news broke that the Dallas Cowboys and free agent running back Ezekiel Elliott had mutual interest in a reunion. This is hardly news because there were rumors last offseason that the two sides would agree on a new contract before Elliott ultimately signed with the New England Patriots. Admittedly, the team missed Elliott’s presence in the red zone last season when they struggled to finish drives.
A reunion makes sense for Elliott because his market was near ice cold before a deal was struck in New England. Returning to Dallas could help revive Elliott’s career and raise his value throughout the league.
