SAD NEWS: Dallas Cowboys forward is traded away to a rival team....

The Dallas Cowboys won’t budge an inch: They want Ezekiel Elliott back.

A recent meeting between the team management, the player, and his representative is making fans and media turn their heads to see what is happening in Arlington, Texas.

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Cowboys front office, Elliot, and his agent, Rocky Arceneaux, met on Wednesday to explore the possibility of the running back returning to the team’s ranks.

According to Rapoport and his NFL Network colleague Tom Pelisero, there is no agreement yet, but the parties are getting closer to an understanding.

Zeke unexpectedly left the Cowboys in the 2023 offseason after a drop in productivity. At the time, the team explained that they had let Elliott go “out of respect” for his history with the team, although ulterior motives point to a move to open up salary cap space for a new generation of players.

Elliott’s return to Dallasith the New England Patriots. From the beginning, the team anticipated it would only use the running back in short-yardage situations in the red zone. This further diminished his productivity, and Zeke finished the year with just 961 yards and five touchdowns from scrimmage.

Rumors of his return to Dallas began almost after the Patriots finished their season. Rumors and speculation in the media point to several meetings between the parties without a specific agreement so far.

The recently reported meeting appears to be the most serious rapprochement between both parties, but only time will tell if it will bear fruit.
