Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott got his wish, as he is the highest-paid player at his position in the NFL.
The team announced the extension Wednesday.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Elliott signed a six-year contract extension worth $90 million with half of it guaranteed. Combined with his existing two years, Elliott's deal will pay him $103 million over eight years.
The six-year extension will pay Elliott $15 million annually, which puts him ahead of the $14.375 million Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley II makes per year.
