The Cowboys and free agent running back Ezkiel Elliott have mutual interest in a reunion, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
The report isn't a surprise.
The Cowboys need a veteran running back, having let Tony Pollard walk in free agency, and Elliott needs a job. Even if they sign Elliott, the Cowboys likely draft a running back as their starter.
Currently, they have Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn, Malik Davis and Snoop Conner on their roster at the position.
Elliott, who turns 29 this summer, spent the first seven years of his career with the Cowboys before they released him last March.
