REPORT: Ezekiel Elliott Has Turned Down MASSIVE Contract Offer From Cowboys According To Clay Travis

Yesterday it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys had extended a contract offer to Ezekiel Elliot that would make him the second-highest paid running back in the NFL — ahead of Le’Veon Bell and behind only Todd Gurley.

BREAKING: Hello, talented media personality KT here, same source tells me Zeke is booked to return from Cabo tomorrow.

Another source tells @Shippyfunsports the Cowboys and Zeke were in contact late last night, and that a deal could come together over the weekend.@1053thefan https://t.co/hdiGHoaiVb

Update: I'm hearing Zeke's deal will be much closer to the Gurley deal than the Bell deal. Sounds like the Cowboys will make Zeke earn more of the guarantee. @1053thefan https://t.co/Ymc2QGYecA

Most people seemed to think this was a pretty good deal for Zeke, but apparently the Cowboys star running back and his camp don’t feel the same way.

According to Fox Sports’ Travis Clay, Zeke has turned down the Cowboys’ latest offer:

And the stalemate continues.

At this point is seems as though this deal won’t be resolved until the Cowboys finally decide that Elliott deserves to be the highest paid running back in the league. Whether or not we ever get to that point remains to be seen.
