The Dallas Cowboys made Ezekiel Elliott one of the highest-paid players at his position. Was it worth it?

The Dallas Cowboys made running back Ezekiel Elliott the highest-paid back in the league back in 2019. Elliott signed a massive six-year, $90 million deal with the team last September. However, the young running back has struggled so far this season.

Zeke is currently posting a thoroughly unimpressive 3.9 yards per rushing attempt through four games. His 273 rushing yards currently have him ranked just outside of the top ten at this point in the year.
