Surprise, surprise. Ezekiel Elliott, a pivotal piece in the Dallas Cowboys engine, may not attend the start of training camp, potentially extending his absence to preseason games. The superstar running back, like his quarterback friend, Dak Prescott, wants Dallas to put a new commitment on the table in the form of a new contract extension.
For the Cowboys, a team potentially in Super Bowl contention, the timing couldn’t be worse. First, the organization is already juggling contract options for Prescott, wide receiver Amari Cooper and cornerback ace, Byron Jones.
