I can see him putting the nose ring in before the pic just for booze.

"Ezekiel Elliott, #Cowboys remained in communication following the initial parting of ways — reuniting in 2024 to provide stability, mentoring and a proven short-yardage and goal line threat to the depth chart in Dallas."

I'll say this for those of us nervous that they signed him to be the lead back. The team mouthpiece is saying otherwise so that may be an indication that the team looks at him as a specialty part time player.

On the other hand, who is the lead back? Dowdle?

It's going to be Dowdle. They will threaten is with trading for one all summer or picking up one at the cuts but we are going to have another year where the previous years RB gets his shot and can't handle it.

We got Loofa and Zeke, though.

Sad but true.

They say that but I won't believe it until week one. Get ready for all the camp reports of Zeke looking fresh and young again. Or two minute drill when Zeke is catching a pass for 3 yards.

LOL, yep.

And he'll probably get almost zero real work in camp, so we get to wait until the real season starts to see how finished he is.

Zeke had over 900 scrimmage yards last year on a really bad offense.

1100 yards from scrimmage seems like a lot but it's not impossible that he hits that incentive.

Bro needs to hit the high test HGH and Roids, and whatever else they are using these days, have a career renaissance and Jerry will give him another huge contract.

They should immediately make Zeke a free agent to correct this egregious rule breaking.
No way, man. They could make him a free agent, strip us of a draft pick for punishment, then we'd just sign him again anyway.

Let sleeping dogs lie.
