The Buffalo Bills have come up as a potential landing spot for free agent running back Dalvin Cook following his release from the Minnesota Vikings on Friday. But they’re also being linked to another back who’s been on the market for a while now.
The Dallas Cowboys released Ezekiel Elliott earlier in the offseason and he has been free to negotiate with other teams. But there hasn’t been much traction where he’s concerned despite his narrowing his list of preferred destinations to the Philadelphia Eagles, Cincinnati Bengals, and New York Jets.
It appears the RB might have to rethink his list if he wants to play in the NFL next season as there aren’t many teams rushing to secure his services.
The 27-year-old is no longer the formidable force he used to be but is still considered a great option for short-yardage situations, which is why he’s being linked to Buffalo.
The Bills are in need of such a player and, while they already have a few under contract, getting someone like Elliot in their offense would make them more dangerous.
Unfortunately for the player, the running back position is not as respectable as it used to be. So his best option would probably be a short-term deal in the region of the veteran’s minimum plus incentives.

But it’s also understood that the Cowboys haven’t shut the door on him completely and could re-sign him if he’s still without a team nearing the start of next season.
