When the Dallas Cowboys decided to release running back Ezekiel Elliott, it led to a split reaction from fans around the league. Many analysts believe that it was the right decision, as Elliott carried a cap hit in 2023 that he has not been playing up to his past several seasons. On the other hand, some Cowboys fans believe that Elliott still provides value for the Cowboys. Elliott did provide touchdowns for the Cowboys this past season, finding the endzone 12 times on the ground in 2022, tied for fifth among running backs. Fans also believe that the team may need Elliott in the 2023 season, as Cowboys running back Tony Pollard suffered a broken fibula in the NFC Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers.
