This is a PFT piece from Charean Williams. Given her long-time connection to the team, I'd say this is as close as we get to their "official position" short of it being a press release. I think the team is stating their position on this deal through her writing:
Ezekiel Elliott appears to have drawn a line in the sand. The Cowboys have followed with a line of their own.
A source said the Cowboys are not going to let the star running back’s holdout force their hand. The team is not going to budge on its budget.
The question, then, is: Does Elliott give in, one way or the other?
Elliott didn’t report to training camp Friday with the rest of his teammates. Two days later, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said a rushing champion isn’t necessary to win a Super Bowl.
The Cowboys value Elliott, but the league doesn’t value the position.
