Ezekiel Elliott would play for three teams
Ezekiel Elliott is looking to move on as the Dallas Cowboys applied the franchise tag to Tony Pollard. With Pollard as the Cowboys’ featured running back going forward, the team announced their plans to release Elliott. Elliott, at 27, will be a hot commodity in the free agent market this offseason. A new report suggests the running back wants to play with playoff contenders.
According to Adam Schefter, Elliott has chosen three teams he wants to play for next season; the Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Jets. He plans to make his decision by the end of next week.

Elliott, a former 2016 first-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys, has won All-Pro honors and three Pro Bowl nominations. However, he’s never found much postseason success with the Cowboys. Elliott has never made it to an NFC Championship game as a member of the Cowboys.
The Eagles and Bengals both have one Super Bowl appearance in the previous two seasons. The Jets, who are on the cusp of receiving Aaron Rodgers in a trade, are going all-in for a Super Bowl run next season.
