Patriots Player News

Former Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliot is reportedly rejoining his old team, the Dallas Cowboys. According to reports, the veteran has agreed to terms on a 1-year deal worth $3 million, with Elliot reportedly scheduled to take a physical on Monday. Hill Jr. reports that the two sides have been talking since late March, with owner Jerry Jones having seen enough of what his former player did last season in New England to bring him back to the Cowboys.

The Boston Globe's Christopher Price reports that the Patriots have not had conversations with running back Zeke Elliott about bringing him back for 2024.

Apparently, the Dallas Cowboys tried to add a little more firepower heading into the postseason. According to FoxSports, the Cowboys were reportedly interested in bringing back Ezekiel Elliott for their playoff run. That would have required the Patriots cutting the veteran back, granting him the freedom to sign with his former team. According to Fox Sports. Elliott did make the request, but Bill Belichick denied him when he apparently requested to be released following the Patriots 4-13 finish. Elliott did go to AT&T stadium and was there cheering his former team on, but didn't get the opportunity to contribute.
