Ezekiel Eliott may have had three teams on his wish list, but it is not off to the best of starts for him.
New York jets head coach Robert Saleh poured cold water on Zeke’s interest in the team when he seemed to dismiss his team as being interested in signing RB Ezekiel Elliott.
“We’re happy with our running back room,” Saleh said when asked about possibly signing Elliott.
The Jets were one of three teams Elliott was reportedly choosing between last week. Since that report, all three have publicly or privately indicated they’re not interested in signing Elliott. His list may have been a way for him to drum up some interest from teams following his release from the Dallas Cowboys.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of market develops for Elliott. The Cowboys designated Elliott a June 1 release earlier this offseason.
In 2022, Elliott appeared in 15 games for the Cowboys and rushed for 876 yards and 12 touchdowns.
