<\/p>\nYou know it’s been a slow offseason when the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0are linked to the\u00a0running back\u00a0they just released a year ago. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler,\u00a0Ezekiel Elliott\u00a0and the Cowboys have \u201cmutual interest\u201d in each other, although a deal hasn’t yet been reached.<\/p>\n
As we all should know, Zeke spent his first seven seasons in Dallas before signing a one-year deal and playing for the New England Patriots last season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A three-time Pro Bowler and a one-time first-team All-Pro during his time with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
He ended with 8,262 rushing yards and 68 rushing touchdowns, which both rank third on the all-time franchise list.<\/p>\n
So let me get this straight, a year ago\u00a0Jerry Jones\u00a0and the front office released Zeke to save some money on the cap.<\/p>\n
The next year rolls around, they don’t sign\u00a0Tony Pollard\u00a0who they hoped to replace him with long-term moving forward, and now they have some interest in bringing Zeke back because this team is now broke.<\/p>\n
Look I’m just being honest here. Elliott led the Patriots in rushing yards with 642.<\/p>\n
Yet that was a career low for him, as were his three rushing touchdowns and 3.5 yards per carry.<\/p>\n
You can get that same type of production from a rookie in the draft or probably even Rico Dowdle.<\/p>\n
If they want to bring Zeke back and he wants to come back to just being a guy that can pick up a first down, sure.<\/p>\n
Other than that, this is the reason they released him in the first place, he has no production left.<\/p>\n
If they don’t draft a back, then that leaves them with Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn, Malik Davis, and Snoop Conner as the only running backs on the roster.<\/p>\n
Vaughn had just 80 yards from scrimmage last season as a rookie, while neither Davis nor Conner recorded stats.<\/p>\n
This is a disaster.<\/p>\n
If that is the case, then it couldn’t get much worse, but at this point, they might as well call Terrence Williams.<\/p>\n
With the direction this team is currently in, it sure feels like this team is aiming for a rebuild based on two players.\u00a0CeeDee Lamb\u00a0and\u00a0Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n
Jerry has walked back on his \u201call-in,\u201d statement from just a few months ago.<\/p>\n
The deeper we get into\u00a0free agency, and the longer\u00a0Dak Prescott’s contract issue remains unresolved, the higher the possibility exists that the team is in rebuild mode now.<\/p>\n
They just don’t have much room to make any other moves.<\/p>\n
If they wanted to create cap space, they could, that is the issue I have with them right now.<\/p>\n
If this team brings back Zeke, that’s all we need to know. I am so over feeling numb about this football team and the lack of urgency they have to want to win again.<\/p>\n
Why not give Dalvin Cook a call if you are going to look into bringing Zeke back?<\/p>\n
Michael Gallup\u00a0was cut, so they don’t have a WR3, or a RB1, if Lamb gets hurt this team is going to have absolutely no offense.<\/p>\n
But don’t worry, Jerry will still be able to host his weekly radio show, and every single network will talk about them on national TV, just like he wants.<\/p>\n
Don’t let Jerry fool you into thinking he cares about anything other than that at this point.<\/p>\n
He probably does want to win another Super Bowl, but wants to do it HIS way.<\/p>\n
And his way has been wasting Hall of Fame talent and others over the last 25 years and counting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
