PHOENIX — The Dallas Cowboys are saying all the right things about leaving the door open for running back Ezekiel Elliott to return to the team if he doesn’t find a home in free agency.
Owner Jerry Jones and vice president Stephen Jones made the same comment within hours apart at the NFL Owner’s Meetings in Phoenix Monday.
Of course, it goes without saying that the Cowboys, who cut the two-time NFL rushing champ for salary cap reasons and because of a decline in his production, could have kept Elliott on the roster if they would have offered him a pay cut.
