The New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 14 opponent, made a splash today by signing former Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott to a one-year, $6 million deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
The #Patriots are expected to sign former #Cowboys star RB Ezekiel Elliott to a 1-year deal worth up to $6M after his successful FA visit earlier in camp, per me and @TomPelissero. Some backfield help for NE and a new home for Zeke… who plans to rock his No. 15 from college. pic.twitter.com/LrdbpHp17h
