Dallas Cowboys have released Ezekiel Elliott, a 27-year-old Pro Bowl selection who had been chosen three times, on the very first day when NFL teams were permitted to sign free agents. Reportedly, the decision was influenced by his salary and fitness, despite the team’s previous interest in keeping him. Elliott had signed an expensive contract with the Cowboys in the 2019 offseason.

Elliott’s mother, Dawn Elliott, is known for being a dedicated and supportive fan of her son. She stands by him on all matters and is unafraid to show her unwavering support. Ezekiel Elliott’s early life began in Alton, Illinois, where he was born to parents who were both college athletes. As a rookie, Elliott showed his gratitude towards his parents by surprising them with a new home.

Ezekiel Elliott remains unsigned, Mother shares inspiring message

After being released by the Dallas Cowboys during the current season, Zeke is yet to be signed with any other NFL team. Despite his impressive stats, the free agency frenzy in the league is over, and most major signings have been made.

Dawn Elliott, the mother of Ezekiel Elliott, wrote a powerful message for free agents on ‘Throwback Thursday’ to commemorate NFL Draft Day on April 28, 2016, in Chicago, IL. She extended her prayers to every young man and his family whose life will change and whose dreams will come true over the next three days. “Prayers to every young man, and his family, whose life will change and dreams will come true over the next three days.”

Ezekiel Elliott’s history of penalties with Cowboys and the NFL as well

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott was benched last year for disciplinary reasons after his phone went off in a position meeting. Owner Jerry Jones stated that it was a minor issue, but it was serious enough to warrant discipline. Jones clarified that it wasn’t a demotion and there were no behavior issues. However, in the next game against the Colts, Elliott didn’t play until 8:41 of the first quarter while Tony Pollard played the first two series.

In another incident, NFL fined Cowboys’ Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott $13,261 each for unsportsmanlike conduct due to their Salvation Army kettle celebrations. Elliott jumped in a giant red kettle after a touchdown run, while Prescott cranked an imaginary handle as Elliott celebrated, during a win over the Colts.

Recently, Jerry called Zeke an “outstanding football player” but acknowledged his high salary may not fit the team’s budget.
