The Cowboys recently reached an agreement with Ezekiel Elliott, a longtime member of the team, but they have yet to sign extensions with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, or Micah Parsons. While no details of the agreement with Elliott have been released, it is a positive development for the team.
Elliott was originally drafted by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft and has been with the team through the 2022 season. After being released in March 2023, he signed with the Patriots last August. However, he recently visited the Cowboys and discussions about a return to Dallas began.
With Tony Pollard having left in free agency and no other significant moves made in the backfield so far this offseason, Elliott is expected to take on a prominent role on the team. As talks about his return continue to progress, it is likely that he will be back in the top spot on the depth chart for the Cowboys in the upcoming season.
While Elliott’s signing is certainly a positive development for Dallas, there are still some concerns regarding their other key players such as Prescott and Lamb who remain unsigned. The Cowboys will need to address these concerns soon if they want to have a successful season ahead.
