Recently, ESPN took a look back at moves made by teams this past offseason and how they panned out. They broke them down into categories that included best moves, worst moves, underrated moves and ones that we’re still waiting on.
The Cowboys didn’t make any of the first three categories (best, worst, underrated) but they did slip into the last category of moves that are still out there waiting for a final determination. That move by the Cowboys was the contract handed out to Ezekiel Elliott.
Elliott became the highest-paid running back in the league by holding out of training camp and forcing the Cowboys to confront life without him.
