The Dallas Cowboys have officially cut their long-time offensive leader Ezekiel Elliott just a few years after making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
It's a move that the team is making to save money, opening up around $5 million in cap space after they decided to re-sign fellow running back Tony Pollard.
In 2019, Elliott signed a huge six-year extension $100 million deal to stay with the Cowboys. It was a deal that many deemed to be excessive at the time, which has now proven true with a number of analysts naming it one of the worst contracts in the league.
