Every team in the NFL right now has been making some personnel changes to prepare for the upcoming season and the Dallas Cowboys are no exception. The whole of last season, the America’s Team was expected to make huge strides in their journey to the promised land. However, their campaign was cut short with the blame going toward Dak Prescott. However, this year, they seem to be determined to ensure that they can go the distance. And to go the distance, they’ve been making some tough decisions. One tough decision might be to part ways with the beloved Cowboy, Ezekiel Elliott.
Elliott has been the resident star running back for the Cowboys. He has played brilliantly for the team. However, in the past season, the running back has struggled. This struggle might be the reason such rumors have been going around. Furthermore, even fans are anticipating his exit from Dallas after a clip of his potential last play went viral.
Is this the end of Ezekiel Elliott era?

While he performed poorly in the recent season, Elliott was once an absolute menace on the field for the Cowboys. He went on to be the two-time rushing champ. However, with a season where he only averaged a career-low of 876 yards with 3.9 yards per carry. He was even dethroned as the team’s main running back by Tony Pollard. Furthermore, a clip of his last play went viral on Twitter after these rumors started gaining more traction.
