Ezekiel Elliott Dismisses Critics Bringing Up His High Salary Not Matching His Low Production On The Field

The Dallas Cowboys have stuck to their strategy of playing both Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, and it has left many thinking whether the former Ohio State University standout still has anything left in the tank.

Pollard has run for 123 yards on 16 carries with a rushing touchdown while featured back Ezekiel Elliott 104 rushing yards on 27 carries and a touchdown.

Elliott isn’t worried about what people are saying about him.

“You hear it, but what really matters is what’s going on in this building,” Elliott said, via ESPN. “I mean, they’re not the one signing the checks. They’re not the ones sending the wires.”

Ezekiel Elliott knows people wonder if Tony Pollard, who had 109 yards last week, should get more action. “You hear it but what really matters is what’s going on in this building,” he said. “I mean they’re not the one signing the checks. They’re not the ones sending the wires."

Zeke Elliott on criticism he’s sharing duties despite being one of highest paid RB: You hear it but what really matters is what’s going on in this building. They’re not the one signing the checks. They’re not the ones sending the wires. So I mean, (laugh)I don’t think it matters.

Back in 2019, Elliott signed a six-year, $90 million extension after forcing the team’s hand with a potential holdout into the season.

The 26-year-old has not been the dynamic RB that he was prior to signing his deal, but as long as his direct deposits hit, I guess it doesn’t really matter.
