2023 NFL free agency rumors: Dallas Cowboys likely to release Ezekiel Elliott on Wednesday

It appears that Wednesday could be a rather significant day for the Dallas Cowboys. When the clock strikes 4 p.m. ET today the new league year will officially begin, and every team in the NFL must be in compliance with the salary cap at that point in time.

The Cowboys were busy on Tuesday afternoon in re-signing both Donovan Wilson and Leighton Vander Esch, but they also very notably traded for veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore. All of those things have to be accounted for and what goes up must come down, which means the Cowboys have to save money somewhere on their books.
