After a lengthy holdout spanning the entire preseason, Elliott and the Cowboys on Wednesday morning reached an agreement on a new contract, which reportedly will be worth $90 million over six years.

Elliott often posts on Twitter, so many were quick to check his page when the deal was broken. And though it is not yet official, the Cowboys hinted at the deal being done with a simple tweet, making reference to the running back’s oft-used celebration.

The Cowboys are going all in on the current group of players, and with Elliott back in the fold, they’re positioned to be a major threat in the NFC.
