In a surprising turn of events, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has withdrawn from the transfer portal, visibly emotional as he announced his decision. Elliott, who rejoined the Cowboys in April 2024 on a one-year deal after a season with the New England Patriots, expressed a strong desire to “finish what I started” in Dallas.
Throughout the 2024 season, Elliott faced challenges, including disciplinary actions that led to his absence from a game against the Atlanta Falcons in November. Despite these setbacks, he remained committed to the team, aiming to contribute significantly to their playoff aspirations.
Elliott’s decision to withdraw from the transfer portal underscores his dedication to the Cowboys and his teammates. As the franchise’s third all-time leading rusher, he has been a pivotal figure since being drafted fourth overall in 2016. His return to Dallas was marked by a sense of “unfinished business,” and this latest decision reaffirms his commitment to achieving success with the team.
As the Cowboys prepare for the upcoming season, Elliott’s presence and experience are expected to play a crucial role in their pursuit of a championship.
