Breaking news: came out of Dallas last week, around the time…

Elliott will receive a $375,000 signing bonus, a basic salary of $1.25 million, plus a $375,000 active roster bonus, per Archer.

His cap number will be $2 million, and he has the option of earning $1 million in incentives in 2024.

Jerry Jones picked the former Ohio State Buckeye in 2016 at number four overall.

He went on to make three Pro Bowl appearances in seven seasons.

He led the league in running yards twice (in 2016 and 2018), had four 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and accumulated 1,100 scrimmage yards in six of his seven seasons behind Dak Prescott.

After a disappointing 2023 season with the New England Patriots, in which he recorded a career-low 642 rushing yards, the former national champion is now relegated to backup duties.

But he did have 955 total yards and five touchdowns for Bill Belichick, so Dallas thought he might be a useful role player.

Elliott and inexperienced running back Deuce Vaughn might provide a strong one-two punch for Mike McCarthy and the Dallas offense.

After winning 12 games for the third straight season, the Cowboys could be back in contention with the aid of the franchise great.

There have been whispers that they are bringing back Ezekiel Elliott, but it is clear that they still need someone to shoulder the weight for them.

With that in mind, NFL pundit and staunch Cowboys fan Skip Bayless recommended the team to choose Michigan standout Blake Corum in the second round of the NFL draft.

Speaking on “Undisputed,” he likened Corum to Cowboys star Emmitt Smith, claiming that they are both built similarly, have outstanding balance, and are difficult to take down on the ground

Bayless asserted that Corum literally carried Michigan to the national championship.

This class isn’t exceptionally deep at running back, but Corum appears to be one of the finest, and he might be available in the second round when the Cowboys pick No. 56.

Corum just established the school record for most running touchdowns in a single season (27).
