Ezekiel Elliott Signs With Patriots

[DuncanIso]

That OL couldn't do anything without him. His holdout proved that. And other than Larry Allen who joined late, I don't think any of them are in the HOF.

I think Nate and Williams are HoF worthy.

 

[GrouchySmurf]

You know he has Oct 1st circled for his return to Jerryworld.

 

[PackersNation]

I'll see Zeke tomorrow in Green Bay at joint practice.

Glad he is getting a fresh start! I applaud him for how he carries himself. I think Dallas made a mistake releasing him.

Good luck Zeke! See you in Titletown on Ray Nitschke Field at 10:30 a.m. on Weds and Thurs.

 

[charron]

Good for Zeke.

Jets. Feel like Dalvin has a little more left in the tank.

 

[maryquality]

Yuck!! Already hate seeing Zeke in that patriots uniform! I wish him well. At least he didn't go to another NFC east team.

No. no they did not make a mistake

 

[PackersNation]

No. no they did not make a mistake

In my opinion they did. Zeke is now in a good spot with a team that wants him. He is highly motivated to prove you wrong.

Officially signing with the Pats today, then flying with the team later today to joint practices in Green Bay. No word on if Zeke will play in the preseason game on Saturday, but he will be on the grass for the joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday.

This will be as bad or odd facing him in week four against the patriots probably as weird as it was facing Emmett Smith as a cardinal but I'm glad he got a job the selfish part of me was hoping he didn't and then he was available after week two and the Cowboys might have picked him up cheap but now he's gone now we don't have to worry about the drama is he coming back is he not people keep talking about should we bring them back now it's over..

I wish him success though I'm not a hater he was one of my favorite players most underrated and most hated on player that's played for us in a very long time and that's crazy to not appreciate this guy's career..

 

[Ranching]

Good for him. CowboysZone especially one poster who’s name rhymes with ploy told me he wouldn’t get signed for even the minimum…..

Also rhymes with toy

 

[jazzcat22]

Thanks for staying away finally, got tired of hearing posters here clamoring like school girls for his return; as well as Jerry's drunken arse . Even $6m seems kinda steep for a FB.

That is why he is a RB.

 

[erod]

Zeke's last play as a Cowboy was at center.

I forget what Zeke's cap hit would have been had the Cowboys kept him. I think around 15M. He's not the best RB on the team. Some would argue not the second best. No one in their right mind would keep a RB under those conditions. For 6M? yeah, maybe.

Zeke's last play as a Cowboy was at center.

And the person who did it is no longer coaching here…..

 

[DanTanna]

So he actually signed for $3M plus a $1M signing bonus. POSSIBLE extra $2M if he hits some incentives. So basically a $4M deal. That is a great contract for the Patriots! Good luck Zeke.

 

[eromeopolk]

So he will get to a Conference Championship game, Super Bowl, or become a Super Bowl Champion like everyone else that leaves the Arlington Jonesboys and Jerry Jones Country Club team.

With Stevenson and Elliott, there is no doubt that NE is going to run the ball more. These moves remind me of when Belichick got a supposedly washed up Corey Dillion (google him). Dillon washed up out of Bengal land to the promise land. Letting Elliott go (not resigning him for a measly $6M) will go down as another Dumbo GM move by Jerry Dumbo GM Jones. 900 yds rushing, 12 TDs, numerous 1st down runs (top 8 rushing 1st downs), and numerous blitz block pick ups are not going to be replaced by a one legged RB, a midget, and dumpster trash RBs.

Congrats Zeke hope you the same success as Damien Wilson, Anthony Hitchens, Demarcus Ware, Mo Claiborne, Barry Church (AFC Championship with the Jags), Danny Amedola, Matt Moore, Blake Bell, Mark Nezocha, Chavarious Ward, etc. etc.

 

[Jumbo075]

Good Luck to Zeke. That is going to be a tough division this year.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I think Dallas made a mistake releasing him.

He wasn't close to being worth the $18M he was going to get this year. The Cowboys had no choice. Zeke wouldn't redo his deal. He knew then his fate was sealed. It's just the business side of pro football. This Cowboys released him but this was all on Zeke because he could have prevented it from happening.
