ESPN: Ezekiel Elliott wishes Tony Pollard, Cowboys RBs 'good luck' via text

[Robbieac]

OXNARD, Calif. -- Before Wednesday's first practice of training camp, Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard received a text from a familiar number.

It was his former teammate, Ezekiel Elliott, the man he is replacing as the Cowboys' lead running back in 2023.

"Just telling all the running backs he knows we'll handle business, take care of everything and just good luck," Pollard said. "It means a lot with his situation, not being anywhere, but him still checking on us and making sure we're all right."

Zeke is a legend.

But at least Jerry is saving some cap.

Pollard is fully healthy as he comes back from surgery to repair a high-ankle sprain in the playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Exactly like some of us said he would be all off season.

Classy touch from Zeke texting Pollard.

A legend in his own mind? Lol none of the 32 teams want him, not just Jerry

He's only a legend in Dallas for the way he ripped off Jerry. He certainly wasn't one on the field. I'm glad he's gone.

Passive aggressive. "Everyone, watch me finally say farewell, ON SOCIAL MEDIA SO EVERYONE CAN SEE, because nobody wants me"

You mean the private TEXT he sent?

Man...the zeke hate makes people weird.

Zeke has always been a good team mate. Warrior. That's all that was meant by that.

Wanna bet he's on a team this season? Nothing like a dumb account ban....a beer or two.

I'd say there is a 95% chance he's on the team this season. They'll probably sign him after week 1.

Fanatics are not known for anything like common sense reason or logic. Dak haters, Romo haters, whoever. Just like the Dak Fanboobs; nothing upstairs at all

Fanboobs? That's a new one (to me).

I think I like it.

Lol the bar for legend is pretty low these days. Zeke is a fool that ruined his career.

 

[CouchCoach]

Man without a team trying to keep his name out there.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I don't get it. You guys speak so well of Dez, Romo.....why the Zeke hate? Witten got it at the end too. Zeke was a great player here and professional as he matured. I enjoyed watching the human being he became. He's no longer here and people still have negative things to say about him? Just wow.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Man without a team trying to keep his name out there.

So he made some agreement with Tony then, right?

"Look old buddy..Imma privately text you, and you'll announce to the press...and that'll help me get a job this fall"

 

[LonnieElam]

Who cares. He's no longer on the team.

 

[MyFairLady]

Tubby is gonna be just like Dez always bothering me with stupid tweets and bleeps.

 

[Praxit]

...I can read between the lines on this one. Zeke very likely saying, "sheesh, wish I was there". But he cant.

So next best thing, is wish em' luck.

 

[Adreme]

Tubby is gonna be just like Dez always bothering me with stupid tweets and bleeps.

Except he didnt tweet it so the only reason you are bothered is because someone else leaked a private text and you are choosing to get offended at the part doing the classy thing though I guess given the tone of your post having class is an idea that is completely lost on you.

I suspect some would want him, just not at a price he wants
