Ezekiel Elliot and the Dallas Cowboys have agreed on a new contract extension.


Arguably one of the best running backs in the league has signed a $90 million, six-year contract extension. Zeke passed the Rams’ Todd Gurley’s contract for a $57.5 million, four-year contract.


With $50 million guaranteed and around $15 million per year, the Cowboys have established a high power big three with Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, and now Ezekiel Elliott.


Last year, Elliott was the league’s leading rusher with over 1,400 yards, which was a little over 200 more yards than Todd Gurley had. He also had 567 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in 2018.
