'That's My Dog!' Cowboys Ex Ezekiel Elliott Being Recruited to Sign by Chiefs Playmaker

Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott remains unsigned as NFL teams shuffle their rosters by bringing in fresh talent from the NFL Draft.

FRISCO - Former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott still remains unsigned but could have a new home soon. And it could be a contender.

As part of the USAA Salute to Service Chalk Talk, Heavy Sports talked to Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco, who appears ready for Elliott to join him in KC.

“Ezekiel Elliott, that’s my dog. I’ve been watching him growing up, watched film on him, take [down] details, dropped notes [on his game],” Pacheco told Heavy Sports. “Just finding ways to get better on the field is something I take very personally.

“Hey, I’m with it [Elliott signing with the Chiefs], whatever he makes the decision. I’m willing and I’m ready to compete if he’s ready. So, we’ll see.”

As the NFL Draft is set to resume on Friday evening, Elliott is still unsigned as teams shuffle their rosters by bringing in fresh talent. ESPN’s Adam Schefter previously predicted Elliott would sign with a new team by the end of March labeling the Eagles, Jets and Bengals as the top contenders for the former Pro Bowl running back.

The Dallas running back situation shifted focus from Elliott to Tony Pollard when the Cowboys used the franchise tag to keep Pollard in Dallas. That move, combined with the remainder of Elliott's $90 million contract made him expendable.

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott says Elliott is still working hard this offseason in anticipation of playing in 2023.

“He’s my best friend,’’ Prescott told us this month. “Hell yeah I’m throwing with him. … His mindset is just getting better, period. However he can. He’s working his a** off.”

And maybe a team like the Chiefs will work their ... tails off ... to add him as well.
