Ezekiel Elliott’s days as a member of the Dallas Cowboys could be numbered if he doesn’t return to form during the upcoming season. Even then, his fate may already be set in stone.

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio predicts the Cowboys will move on from Elliott after this season.

“I think he’s out,” Florio detailed on a June 17, 2022, episode of “Pro Football Talk.” “I think he’s out after this year. I think he’s out after this year, and the money that they would give to him is going to Tony Pollard and then they’ll draft somebody.

“They had no qualms about saying goodbye to DeMarco Murray. His reward for setting the franchise single-season rushing record was, ‘See you later. We’re not interested.’ And they would have already said that to Ezekiel Elliott if they didn’t have a contract structure that forced them to keep him around. And it’s amazing for a team that prides itself on being very shrewd, very shrewd when it comes to contract negotiations, they got the short end of it with Ezekiel Elliott and with Dak Prescott by delaying and assuming that they could just throw an arm around the guy and talk him into doing a hometown discount.”
