Who can blame him? He’s led the NFL in rushing in two of his three seasons, likely would have in all three if not for a much-debated suspension, and is the heart and soul of the Cowboys offense. This saga started before last season even ended and it’s now dipping in to this one.The team did indeed arrive in Oxnard on Thursday evening via a charter flight, one that Elliott was not a part of. This wasn’t necessarily a sign that he was going to make good on a potential holdout as he has until Friday to show up, but it was at the very least an eyebrow raise in that direction.It’s obvious that Elliott wants to get paid and precedent across the NFL sort of exists for him to. Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Roger-Staubach-Jersey , also a first-round pick, got his big contract a year ago when he was entering his fourth season, the same NFL point that Zeke is currently at. According to Yahoo’s Charles Robinson it’s Gurley’s contract that Elliott is looking to top.Gurley is the only running back in the NFL who is paid over $14M per season (he’s paid $14.375M annually) as Le’Veon Bell just signed a deal with the New York Jets this offseason that puts him at $13.125M. He also may have set the running back position back collectively as far as getting big-time extensions due to the fact that he got hurt last season and is now dealing with a knee injury that has caused tons of speculation.While Gurley’s extension in totality was for $57.5M it’s also worth paying attention to what was guaranteed: $45M, $21.95M at signing, $21M as a signing bonus. It feels fair (and is obvious) to assume that Zeke wants north of all of those numbers.There are a lot of thoughts as to how NFL teams should handle paying running backs (people think they shouldn’t) especially when you’re approaching numbers like these. With Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper both also needing extensions (and other players soon to follow) it certainly sounds like a lot to commit to such a contract.The question always has been whether Zeke is worth it, and he indisputably is in terms of who he is as a player; however https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Tony-Dorsett-Jersey , a large part of the reality here is that he plays running back and that position has been devalued by the rest of the league. Will the Cowboys fall into that camp, too?We’ll know soon enough. Maybe. Perhaps talk is just that... talk." Dallas Cowboys 2019 Training CampReport: There was talk Ezekiel Elliott might not have shown up to spring activities but obviously didNew,24commentsPerhaps talk is just that... talk.CDTIf you are looking for some optimism regarding a potential holdout from Ezekiel Elliott, you’ve come to the right place.Word over the last week has gotten pretty radical for Zeke. First we learned that he was considering holding out from the beginning of training camp, and then it was reported that he was planning on leaving the country this week. With the Cowboys leaving for Oxnard on Thursday that made for a lot of confused faces.Both of those reports came from ProFootballTalk, but on Monday morning NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added to it all by noting that all options were still “on the table” for Zeke meaning that holding out seems to be at the very least that... an option.It makes sense if this has got you worn out. With actual football so close that should be the focus Randy White Jersey , right? Plus, why are we worrying about a potential holdout? For all we know there’s nothing to see here.NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo didn’t quite say that on Monday afternoon but he did somewhat offer it up as another option. He noted that apparently Zeke made a similar threat, if you want to call it that, with regards to spring practices and that those ended up not coming to fruition.Garafolo starts this hit by giving credit to PFT for the story about Elliott maybe holding out and makes it clear that he’s only trying to further clarify the picture. There’s clearly been varying levels of discussion regarding Zeke and his new deal, but if he truly did consider not reporting in the spring and eventually did then it stands to reason the same could happen here and now with training camp.It doesn’t feel like there are a great number of people who are buying that Elliott will in fact miss camp’s beginning (60% of BTB thinks he’ll show up without a new deal). Maybe all of this small talk is only meant to apply a bit more pressure on the Cowboys in hopes of getting a deal done, business can get complicated like that sometimes.We’ll have our answer in a few days.
