Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reported Thursday that Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is under contract through 2020, is seeking an extension that surpasses Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's four-year, $57.5 million deal.
The news comes after Jane Slater of NFL Network reported that Elliott was not on the team's flight from Dallas to Oxnard, California, the site of team training camp. However, camp doesn't officially begin until Friday, and Slater further mentioned that players have made their own way to California in the past.
