Reinforcements are finally arriving for the New England Patriots’ running backs room, and this time, they’re coming in the form of former two-time NFL leading-rusher Ezekiel Elliott.
The former Dallas Cowboys running back is reportedly expected to sign with New England on a one-year, $6 million deal, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Elliott was released by the Cowboys in March, and like so many other big-name running backs, he has spent the last several months trying to make the most out of a depreciated market. Now, he finds himself on a Patriots team that was in dire need of depth in the offensive backfield.
