There’s no telling when Ezekiel Elliott will report to the Cowboys, but it sounds like he’s ready to go at any time. Currently, Elliott’s weight is in the low 220s, the lowest it has been since his rookie year, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link) hears.

Elliott’s weight has been a cause for concern in the past. Known for his midriff cut-off jerseys, Elliott has taken some flack for being seen with a (minor) amount of belly fat in place of his once-defined abs. Nitpicking aside, Elliott’s apparently solid conditioning is a good indicator that he is prepared to play football this season, despite his reported threat to miss games if he does not get a new deal.
The Cowboys have reportedly pitched a contract to Elliott that would be closer to Le’Veon Bell‘s than Todd Gurley‘s, making Elliott the second-highest paid running back in the league. Zeke, meanwhile, is probably gunning for the top RB spot.
Man I wanna take this man in fantasy, but got burned by Bell last year.
If he doesn’t report by draft time I have to pass him at 4
As an eagles fan, dude deserves it. Only thing that you could argue against it with is the fact that he’s had the off field issues but seeing as Gurley got what he got with major injuries in the past Zeke should at least match
Just because the Rams overpaid too early doesn’t mean the Cowboys should. How about he shows he can get through a whole year without any BS before he asks too break the bank.
It’s not your money who cares. Pay the guy.
He would lose 10 pounds if he cut his hair…..
professional athelte in shape.
ground breaking
Yep. Literally no new information here. Wow he’s in shape… Big surprise.
How is this news?
Almost like he got paid to workout or something
I think we’re all just as shocked as you are at this earth shattering tidbit of information. Fantastic journalism here.
It’s news because previously, he hasn’t been.
It’s not rocket science, but clearly you’re struggling with it.
Round is a shape
Very true
Well that’s good to know…
2 years left on his contract, multiple dealings with the commish resulting in bad PR. It’s a QB league the cowboys can win without him trade him get the Hershel Walkerish haul and sign Dak, Coop and Smith.
How do we know he’s not down in weight because he’s lost muscle?
Great update. It’s inspired me to find my old midriff cut-off jersey to display my beer belly.
