Ezekiel Elliott's Time as No. 1 Running Back Over

Cowboys Meeting with Elliott

Decline in Performance

Former Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott's status as the team's premier ball carrier has come into question following two seasons of declining performance. Elliott, now 28 years old, has seen his rushing yards and attempts drop significantly.

In the past season, Elliott recorded career lows in rushing yards (642) and attempts (170). These statistics suggest that the running back is no longer capable of carrying the heavy load he once did.

The Cowboys are reportedly meeting with Elliott to discuss a potential reunion. However, it remains uncertain whether Elliott will be able to regain his former dominance or if the team will pursue other options.

Elliott's current contract still carries a dead cap hit of $6 million for the Cowboys. This financial burden may influence the team's decision-making process in regards to his future.
