The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly set to significantly shake up their offense by parting ways with running back Ezekiel Elliott.
According to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys are planning to release Elliott after placing the franchise tag on fellow running back Tony Pollard.
Per Spotrac, making Elliott a pre-June 1 cut will result in $4.86 million in savings against the salary cap, but also $11.86 million in dead cap. Designating him as a post-June 1 release would save $10.9 million and incur $5.82 million in dead cap this year and $6.
