In an unexpected turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly closing in on a deal that could see a familiar face sprinting back to the end zone at AT&T Stadium. It’s a play that’s got fans buzzing and rivals watching closely.
Breaking through the defensive line of NFL rumors, it’s been confirmed that the Cowboys are in talks to bring running back Ezekiel Elliott back into the fold. This potential reunion comes after Elliott’s premature release from a hefty $90 million contract last year, leaving many to wonder if the Cowboys are looking to rekindle the magic between Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott.
Elliott’s departure was a salary cap maneuver, but his performance with the New England Patriots last season showed flashes of his Pro Bowl form. With the Cowboys’ current backfield options looking as thin as a referee’s playbook, Jerry Jones might be eyeing Elliott as the missing piece to Dallas’ championship puzzle
