The Philadelphia Eagles have established themselves as a formidable force in the NFL, having already secured the NFC East title, positioning them as serious contenders for the championship. With a strong roster, the Eagles are not in urgent need of significant roster changes. However, the recent release of Ezekiel Elliott by the Dallas Cowboys presents an intriguing opportunity for the Eagles.

According to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, Elliott, a three-time Pro Bowl running back, was waived by the Cowboys after he requested his release. This decision was made out of respect for Elliott's contributions to the team. Despite a less-than-stellar season, where he accumulated only 226 rushing yards on 74 carries, Elliott remains a seasoned player capable of making an impact, especially as a secondary option in the backfield.

While the Eagles already feature Saquon Barkley as their primary running back, the addition of Elliott could enhance their offensive depth. Kenneth Gainwell has performed admirably as Barkley's backup, but bringing in a player of Elliott's caliber could provide insurance against injuries and bolster the team's overall strategy. As the playoffs approach, the Eagles may want to consider this potential acquisition seriously.
