Ezekiel Elliott might be heading back to the Dallas Cowboys before the 2024 season starts with both parties keen on a reunion.
After seven seasons with the Cowboys, Elliott left last offseason and signed a one-year contract with the New England Patriots, but that spell in Foxborough is over and Elliott is seeking a new home.
Tony Pollard, who was the Cowboys’ starting running back in 2023 after being franchise-tagged, has since moved to the Tennessee Titans, leaving them with Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn, Malik Davis, and Snoop Conner the position.
The Cowboys have been among the quietest teams in free agency, with huge contracts looming for wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and defensive superstar Micah Parsons.

“I want to stay here,” Elliott said before he was let go. “I don’t know what the future holds. But I really want to stay.”
Last season at the Patriots, Elliott had the lowest number of carries (184), rushing yards (642) rushing touchdowns (three), yards per carry (3.5), yards from scrimmage (955), and total touchdowns (five) in his career.
Despite these lows, he still led the team in rushing yards (642) and catches (51), having not played much until Week 13. In the last six weeks, Elliott had 120 runs for 464 yards and three touchdowns
