The Dallas Cowboys have reached a deal with running back Ezekiel Elliott, bringing him back to the team after his departure in March 2023. This news comes as the Cowboys have not yet signed extensions with quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, or linebacker Micah Parsons.
Elliott was originally selected by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft and had been with the team through the 2022 season. After being released, he signed with the New England Patriots last August. However, he recently visited the Cowboys to discuss a return to Texas and it was widely expected that a deal would be reached.
With Tony Pollard departing in free agency and no other major moves made in the backfield this offseason, Elliott will likely be at the top of the depth chart for Dallas in the upcoming season. His return is expected to provide stability and consistency for a position that has been unsettled since Pollard’s departure.
