You know it’s been a slow offseason when the Dallas Cowboys are linked to the running back they just released a year ago. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys have “mutual interest” in each other, although a deal hasn’t yet been reached.
As we all should know, Zeke spent his first seven seasons in Dallas before signing a one-year deal and playing for the New England Patriots last season.
A three-time Pro Bowler and a one-time first-team All-Pro during his time with the Cowboys.
He ended with 8,262 rushing yards and 68 rushing touchdowns, which both rank third on the all-time franchise list.
So let me get this straight, a year ago Jerry Jones and the front office released Zeke to save some money on the cap.
The next year rolls around, they don’t sign Tony Pollard who they hoped to replace him with long-term moving forward, and now they have some interest in bringing Zeke back because this team is now broke.
Look I’m just being honest here. Elliott led the Patriots in rushing yards with 642.
Yet that was a career low for him, as were his three rushing touchdowns and 3.5 yards per carry.
