Cowboys Could Cut Ezekiel Elliott
2 years agoThe Dallas Cowboys would save $4.8 million on the 2023 salary cap by releasing running back Ezekiel Elliott this offseason. They'd save $10.9 million if they designate him as a post-June 1 cut. Elliott doesn't have anymore guaranteed money left on his deal, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Cowboys move on, especially with Tony Pollard secured on the franchise tag this year. Dallas is looking to add more explosive playmakers, and Elliott hasn't shown much explosiveness in the last couple of seasons. If the 27-year-old stays with the team, he'll likely be taking a pay cut in 2023. Pollard will take over as the team's primary running back this year, so Elliott will be more of a short-yardage/goal-line player if he stays with the Cowboys for another season.
