Why the Dallas Cowboys must be coy with Ezekiel Elliott’s deal

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the best at his position in the entire NFL. Is that fact, opinion or both? Since he’s been in the league, he has won two rushing titles. He is already over 4,000 yards gained in just three seasons. Only legendary rusher Jim Brown has a higher career yards per game.

Last season Elliott showed how much of a menace he can be in the passing game as well, catching 77 balls for 567 yards and three touchdowns. He also is an active blocker, talented at picking up blitzes and capable of delivering jarring blows to defenders coming after his quarterback.
