Dallas Cowboys should extend Ezekiel Elliott; Avoid possible holdout

The Dallas Cowboys have gotten their monies worth out of running back Ezekiel Elliott in his first three seasons. Two rushing titles, two Pro Bowl bids, two All-Pro nominations, 4,048 rushing yards, 1,199 receiving yards and a combined 34 touchdowns have proven that.

Elliott was the most used running back in the league for the second time in his young career, carrying the ball 304 times in 2018. That was 43 more rushing attempts than the next closest player.

That kind of usage combined with his physical running style will certainly limit his shelf life in the NFL.
