Cowboys part ways with RB Ezekiel Elliott after 7 seasons

The Dallas Cowboys have released running back Ezekiel Elliott after seven seasons with the team. Elliott had a down season in 2022 and became the secondary option behind Tony Pollard in the Cowboys' rushing attack. The 27-year-old is coming off career lows in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing average. The roster move is expected to save the Cowboys more than $10 million. Elliott is one of the best running backs in Cowboys history, racking up 8,262 rushing yards in his career, which places him third on the all-time list in rushing for the franchise.
