The free agent market has been wholly unwelcome for running backs ahead of the 2023 season. That includes former Cowboys three-time Pro Bowler Ezekiel Elliott.Elliott, whom the Cowboys released on March 15, still has not found a new team to call home. A suggested he had narrowed his free agency options to the Eagles, Bengals or Jets, and that he wanted to narrow down which team to sign with by the Joe Carter Jersey end of that week.In hindsight, that appeared overly optimistic. And, even as Elliott recently , he remains unsigned. But at least one team is purportedly open to the po sibility: the Cowboys.MORE: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Tuesday told Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan he is still keeping tabs on the No. 4 overall pick from the 2016 NFL Draft, and that the po sibility of re-signing him hasn't been dismi sed. Per The Athletic's Jon Machota:Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on said " Russell Martin Jersey We're reading the tea leaves" when asked about po sibility of re-signing Ezekiel Elliott after Ronald Jones' suspension. Jones on Elliott: "He's not ruled out at all." Jon Machota (@jonmachota) Should Elliott return to Dallas, it would be on a significantly le s lucrative contract than the six-year, $90 million extension he signed in 2019. He likely would serve as a backup or perhaps a co-starter alongside Tony Pollard Marcus Stroman Jersey , who signed his $10.091 million franchise tag for the 2023 season.Elliott was designated as a post-June 1 cut and released to to the team. The Cowboys have since to an extension, though the team must plan similar deals down the line for guard Zack Martin and EDGE Micah Parsons.Another factor in a potential return for Elliott is his diminishing productivity on the field. He experienced career-lows in 15 games played in 2022, including carries (231), rushing yards (876), yards per carry (3.8), receptions (19), receiving yards (92) and yards from scrimmage (968).MORE: An Elliott return to the Cowboys was in May, but perhaps the diminishing value for top-tier running backs could make him rethink the decision. Free agents Leonard Fournette, Kareem Hunt and Dalvin Cook who is widely Kendrys Morales Jersey expected to sign with the Jets are all still available.The i sue has raised concerns and consternation alike among players at the position, including those still signed with their teams. The Giants' Saquon Barkley and Raiders' Josh Jacobs by the deadline for franchise-tagged players, though the former has since Yangervis Solarte Jersey agreed to a that could potentially be more lucrative than playing on the tag.It remains to be seen whether they or any other backs will be paid the way they feel they should. Regardle s, any return by Elliott to the Cowboys would likely come with a significantly reduced price tag another note in running backs' ongoing frustration at their value.
