Ezekiel Elliott said he had minimal talks with the Cowboys about coming back after he was released. But he said there was an offer
A decline in production due to injuries and wear and tear, coinciding with his $10 million cap hit for 2023, forced owner Jerry Jones to make one of the hardest phones calls he ever had to make on March 15.
“I know that he was one of the best teammates that I’ve had the privilege of seeing on the Cowboys,” Jones said. “For his team, he was inspirational. He was inspirational before the games, his practice habits were off the charts — he just would basically practice as though every play was for all the marbles. He had very unique skills as a running back, and boy, he could lower that pad and lower that center of gravity.
The whole ordeal remains a sore point. He was without a team from March 15 until signing with the Patriots on Aug. 16. Elliott signed with the Patriots during training camp and is still adjusting to his new in-season home.
