Stephen Jones said Zeke is staying put...albet for 2022.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Zeke after 2022, especially since Tony Pollard is scheduled to become a free agent.

Dallas Cowboys: RB Ezekiel Elliott

..

While Elliott posted big numbers, the Cowboys won only a single playoff game and didn't get past the divisional round. Meanwhile, his salary-cap charge this season is $18.2 million. Then he's under contract for the next four campaigns and the number never dips below $14.3 million.

By trading him now, the Cowboys can save $12.4 million toward this year's salary cap, which can be rolled over to 2023. Unsurprisingly, the Cowboys are in the red going into next offseason.


..

We'd have to eat some of Zeke's contract to move him. No one would pay to take that contract off our hands. And the money is *guaranteed* for this year. Nobody, no way, no how.

I think I would throw a party if they dumped Zeke. But I doubt anyone would give us anything with that salary.

this is probably true, no other team is stupid enough to pay that much for a rb !
jerry likes elliot for whatever reasons, who knows why, and it has hurt the team, as pollard hasnt been used enough , so they wasted him, and he could have
helped had he been played more.
the time to get rid of big E was when he held out for extension.

they are now stuck with dak and E and pollard will continue to be wasted.

Dallas could have got mac jones, or the one TB got and maybe had a QB
as good as dak or better after a year or 2.

You sound like a real QB guru.
