Ezekiel Elliot will no longer be a part of the Dallas Cowboys team after the recent events. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insulted the player by saying he doesn’t know about his name. Elliot took it on a personal level and has decided to make deals with other teams.
Ezekiel Elliott was not amused by Saturday's "Zeke who?" quip from Jerry Jones and thought it was "disrespectful," according to Elliott's agent. “I didn't think it was funny and neither did Zeke – we actually thought it was disrespectful," Rocky Arcineaux told @mortreport.

Sources: The most recent offer in negotiations between holdout Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys came from the team. Elliott has been offered a contract making him one of the NFL’s 2 highest-paid RB. That would suggest team offering more than LeVeon Bell and less than Todd Gurley.

Things are looking promising in the Ezekiel Elliott holdout situation.
He has left Cabo to return to Dallas, just as the Cowboys are set to return from Hawaii.
Look for a deal to be done sooner than later!

NFL is known for the crazy trades and Elliot deal could be the latest in line. As the Cowboys have Tony Pollard as a replacement for Zeke, they don’t have to worry much. Here are the potential deals for Elliot with the Colts, Seahawks and 49ers.
Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts are in dire need of a new star after the injury of Andrew Luck in their team. First, Luck had a calf injury and then it turned to an ankle injury and now he is out from the whole NFL preseason. Ezekiel Elliot is the best options for the Colts and he will the best running back in their team. The Colts have the assets to make a Zeke deal with Cowboys and once it’s done, they can be on the same level as Patriots and Chiefs in the AFC division.
Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks were once known for their hard offense but those days are long gone. Elliot has the ability to make them strong again and get them back in the game. Russel Wilson as a quarterback and Elliot as a running back can make the Seahawks a dangerous NFL team. Elliot would make their offense line strong and also give a chance to D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett for shining in the defense. It would cost Seattle a lot of money, but they need someone like Elliot to return on the big games.
San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers are the team that needs a miracle after their last two seasons turned so bad. Jimmy Garoppolo’s ACL injury can make the third year even worse than the previous years. The fans of 49ers are not happy and might now show up in the stadium if the team doesn’t make improvements. Elliot can make it possible and handle everything until Garoppolo return on the field. The 49ers should take the risk and bid as high as needed to get Elliot in their roster.
