ESPN REPORT:Dallas cowboy key player part ways with his team due to the force allegation...

The Cowboys opted not to select a running back in the NFL draft. A potential reunion with Ezekiel Elliott could be on the horizon.

Jones declined to delve into specifics due to uncertainty about which rules might apply, emphasizing the positive aspects instead. The Cowboys addressed significant needs by selecting offensive linemen with two of their top three picks and a total of three out of eight picks, crucial after losing two starters in the offseason. Running back was also identified as a need.

Stephen Jones, the executive vice president of personnel, noted the challenge of adhering strictly to their draft board and highlighted that the right opportunity to select a running back didn’t materialize.

Acknowledging their meeting with Ezekiel Elliott and his agent on the draft’s opening night, the Cowboys expressed ongoing interest in him.

Jerry Jones reiterated their interest in Elliott after the second day of the draft, pointing out the prolonged wait for a running back selection and hinting at a potential future with Elliott.

Tony Pollard, who filled in for Elliott in 2023, didn’t meet expectations relative to his salary under the franchise tag. He subsequently signed with Tennessee in free agency.

Currently, the four running backs on the Cowboys’ roster who saw playing time last season have a combined career total of 163 carries for 605 yards and four touchdowns. Dallas recently added veteran journeyman Royce Freeman to their roster.
