Last week, Elliott appeared to hint at the desired value of his contract, and it’s not far-fetched to assume he could become the highest-paid running back in the game.
With Elliott, the Cowboys have a pretty electric offense, so even if the price is high it is a no-brainer for them to sign him so they can capitalize on their current window.
