Could the Dallas Cowboys potentially consider bringing back popular running back Ezekiel Elliott? Don't be surprised, according to Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News.
“Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook are two veteran options who stand to draw strong club consideration as free agency progresses,” Gehlken said. “Elliott spent seven seasons in Dallas from 2016-22. Cook would reunite with Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, his head coach on the Minnesota Vikings from 2017-21.”
Meanwhile, head coach Mike McCarthy sounded open to adding to their running back core.
“I think we definitely want to add to the running back room,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “We’re not done with that room by no means, whether it’s a veteran, whether it is a draft pick. Signing Rico back was important. He’s definitely someone that was part of the one-two rotation last year, so we feel good about him.
“But we’ve got some young guys in here that look to [make a] jump. .... You look at Hunter, Deuce [Vaughn] and even Malik [Davis]. I’m expecting them to take a big jump and compete for playing time.”
