Elliott requested his release, just ahead of the final week of the NFL regular season, according to NFL insider Josina Anderson.
The nine-year veteran will be looking to land a team with the hopes of possibly getting the one thing in his career he hasn’t been able to grasp - a Super Bowl ring. Elliott
Elliott has only wracked up 226 yards and three touchdowns on 74 attempts this season for the Cowboys, showing that the back is well past his prime. He hasn’t put up over 1,000 yards on the ground in a season since 2021.
Still, the All-Pro running back could prove some depth for a team thin at the position.
Possible landing spots that make the most sense for Elliott, if he’s looking to join a contender where he might see a sliver of playing time, include the Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, or Washington Commanders.
The Baltimore Ravens signed Dalvin Cook last season during their playoff push for similar depth reasons, although he never saw the field. They could do the same for Elliott but it’s probably safer to place bets elsewhere.
