CelebNSports247.com reports that Elliott secured his goal of becoming the richest running back in NFL history while also helping the Cowboys stay flexible in the cap to continue to sign other players.
Ezekiel Elliott deal still leaves plenty of room for quarterback Dak Prescott and receiver Amari Cooper contract extensions so they can get what they want as well.
Most important to the Cowboys were the cash flow and the cap room in the first two years of the deal. They got that with a $7.5 million signing bonus and a $752,137 base salary in 2019, while carrying a cap hit of $6,339,655 in the first year. – Star-Telegram

I think I’m ready now for a normal workload. Just depends on how (running backs coach Gary Brown) and (offensive coordinator) Kellen (Moore) and Coach (Jason) Garrett are feeling on Sunday. But if they ask me, I’ll be able to go out there and do it.
