The Dallas Cowboys did what they needed to do when it came to veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott this offseason. The contract they gave the running back in 2019, which even at the time was criticized by some as being extravagant for a running back, had become even more burdensome given Elliott’s continuing slide in production. The calls for the team to use Tony Pollard grew year after year until this past year when Pollard became the lead back based on production. That pretty much sealed the deal on the Cowboys parting ways with Elliott.
Dallas released Elliott back in the middle of March and the running back has yet to find a new home.
