Ezekiel Elliot's holdout may be over soon. Talks between the Cowboys and their star running back are reportedly intensifying, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, with both sides aiming to wrap up a new deal this weekend before the season starts.
Elliott is still training in Cabo San Lucas and has not joined the team since the start of training camp. He is under contract through 2020 and is set to make $3.85 million in 2019 and $9.1 million in 2020 on his current contract.
According to ESPN's Ed Werder, the Cowboys offered Elliott a contract that would make him the second-highest paid running back in the league.
