Elliott & Cowboys Reunite with New Deal

The familiar chant of "FEED ZEKE!" might soon echo through AT&T Stadium once again, as Ezekiel Elliott is set to rejoin the Dallas Cowboys, pending a successful physical. According to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, Elliott and the Cowboys have agreed on terms for a new contract. This reunion comes after a season apart, and while Elliott might not be the consensus top back he once was, his recent performances suggest he still has plenty to offer on the field.

Balanced Breakfast:

Since entering the NFL in 2016, Elliott has been a formidable force due to his robust, downhill running style and reliable hands. Last season, even within a struggling New England Patriots offense, he managed 600 rushing yards and caught 50 passes. At 28, Elliott's football age might suggest he's older due to the high number of carries in his early years, including three seasons with at least 300 carries. Despite this, his recent stats affirm that he can still contribute significantly in today's game.

Handoff to the Future:

It’s realistic to assume that Elliott’s new deal with the Cowboys could be short-term, given his past peak performance years. He will join a backfield that includes Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn, where he is expected to play a pivotal role. Elliott’s experience and versatility will be vital for Dallas's offense, offering not just skill but also leadership. The potential of seeing Elliott in action again is sure to ignite excitement among fans, especially at the Cowboys' home opener, which will likely see a sea of number 21 jerseys.
