NFL Rumors: Ezekiel Elliott Set to Be Released by Cowboys Amid $16.4M Salary Cap Hit

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to release running back Ezekiel Elliott, ending his seven-year tenure with the team.

Per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys are "set to part ways" with Elliott and an official announcement could come before the start of the new league year on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed releasing Elliott is the "likely choice" for the Cowboys, but nothing is official at this point.

Rapoport added the Cowboys would likely designate Elliott as a post-June 1 cut.
