The Dallas Cowboys are bringing back two familiar faces for the upcoming season. The Cowboys agreed to terms with Ezekiel Elliott on Monday, and the paperwork became official on Tuesday. The Cowboys needed an RB1 to replace Tony Pollard, who left for the Tennessee Titans.
Ezekiel Elliott is joining the Dallas Cowboys for 2024
Elliott is expected to be the RB1 for Dallas after the team failed to draft a running back over the weekend. The team has lost several key offensive players since free agency started other than Pollard, including two starters on the offensive line. Wide receiver Michael Gallup signed with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Tyron Billy-Johnson is back in Dallas
With Gallup in Las Vegas, the Cowboys decided to add depth to the position by signing a player they released at the end of last season. According to a statement by the team, the Cowboys signed Tyron Billy-Johnson to the roster.

Billy-Johnson is an athlete Dallas Morning News reporter Michael Gehlken calls a “speedster.”
The Houston Texans signed Billy-Johnson as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He’s been with several teams since. He has appeared in 26 games, and he’s recorded 23 catches for 422 yards and three touchdowns.

Cowboys signing zeke doesn’t help or make any better. I’d say hurts them. Taking carries away from other guys. Looking for next guy up. It’s not zeke. Rico dowdle has looked really good he is next guy up
Just like pollard looked lot better zeke for 2 years before pollard got a shot. Rb.. aren’t same after a couple years. Very few guys I’d give big money too.. at rb position. Always young new talent to pick from
