It’s the tip of an period in Dallas … the Cowboys are reducing Ezekiel Elliott.
The workforce made the transfer on Wednesday afternoon, in response to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, to rid themselves of the 27-year-old’s large contract — severing ties with the operating again who had arguably been the Cowboys’ hottest participant since 2016.
Elliott was a monster for Dallas after it drafted him with the No. 4 total choose seven years in the past … piling up large numbers — even in a few of his worst years.

In his Cowboys profession, he logged 8,262 dashing yards, 2,336 receiving yards and 80 whole touchdowns.
But, Elliott’s play declined shortly after he inked a six-year, $90 million contract with the workforce in 2019 … and along with his deal set to place an enormous pressure on the Cowboys’ wage cap this season, they determined to half methods with him.
Elliott finishes his profession as certainly one of Dallas’ finest tailbacks of all time — rating third behind Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett for many Cowboys dashing yards ever.
It’s unclear the place the three-time Pro Bowler will head subsequent … after battling a myriad of accidents and solely operating for 3.8 yards per carry in 2022, a marketplace for his companies won’t be strong.
Either manner, we’re positive Dak Prescott — Elliott’s finest bud for almost the previous decade — is fairly unhappy about all of it.
