Ezekiel Elliot has not reported to training camp, because of a contract dispute with the Dallas Cowboys. Zeke still has two years left on his rookie contract, but he wants to get paid the top running back money that he has rightfully earned!
Currently, Ezekiel Elliot is training in Los Cabos, Mexico instead of Oxnard, CA where the Dallas Cowboys are having their 2019 NFL Training Camp.
Jerry Jones comments didn’t help the situation, when he said, “Everybody knows you can win a Super Bowl without a top running back”. That’s funny coming from an NFL owner, whose franchise won three of the five Super Bowls from having a top running back in Emmitt Smith.
We could see a holdout that carries over into the regular season if Zeke and Cowboys management don’t find common ground in contract negotiations.
Ezekiel has rushed for 4,048 yards, 28 rushing touchdowns, 135 receptions, and 1199 receiving yards, and six receiving touchdowns in three seasons.
Zeke has even rushed for 983 yards and seven rushing touchdowns after serving a six-game suspension in 2017 that is phenomenal.
The Dallas Cowboys offense needs Zeke to make the offense flow, we have all seen what Dak Prescott looks like without Ezekiel Elliot, the offense looks horrendous.
Only time will tell if both sides will agree on a new contract for Ezekiel Elliot.
