Ezekiel Elliott’s run as a Dallas Cowboy is over. He leaves a legacy of pile-driving runs, league-leading rushing totals and a 2-4 record in the NFL playoffs.
News broke March 15, the first day free agent signings can become official, that the All-Pro running back would part ways with the only franchise he’s ever known. Elliott will be designated a post-June 1 release, saving Dallas nearly $11 million in much-needed cap space. This cut sends the veteran to free agency coming off his least productive year as a pro. The former fourth overall pick rushed for 876 yards on a mere 3.8 yards per carry in his age 27 season.
