Ezekiel Elliott is no longer one of the NFL's highest-paid running backs following his impressive career with the Dallas Cowboys, but he's getting a solid deal with his new team.
The New England Patriots signed Elliott to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday.
Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio shared the contract breakdown Wednesday, including the incentive benchmarks that Elliott would need to reach to earn the full $6 million:
- He'll earn $50,000 per game that he's on the active roster, which equates to $850,000 over the 17-game regular-season schedule.
