The Dallas Cowboys officially announced the signing of free agent running back Ezekiel Elliott on Tuesday morning. Elliott returns to North Texas on a one-year contract, joining other recent running back additions.
The deal is worth up to $3 million, and Elliott, the fourth overall pick in the 2016 draft, is the Cowboys’ third all-time leading rusher with over 8,000 yards and 68 touchdowns.
He is well respected in the locker room and has contributed both on and off the field, making him a valuable asset for Dallas.
