Elliott shared a six worded blow to his former team as he confirmed his desire to play for the Patriots. He went on to tweet, “One Five, all the way live !” hinting at the number he will wear under Bill Belichick. This was a nod to the number he had worn during his college days dropping subtle hints about what lies ahead for him and his new team.

The link-up between Zeke and his new team Patriots will add a lot of hype for the New England fans as they head into the season hoping to break their duck. With the announcement left a little too late, they will hope to make the best of the situation with their new RB.

Patriots swoop in for Zeke at the last minute

Ezekiel Elliot is one of the active RBs who has performed consistently at the highest levels. The decision by the Cowboys may come to haunt them if he is able to replicate his peak numbers. The Patriots on the other hand are set to entertain a top-tier RB as competition for the RBs already on their roster. Although the decision came later than what many would have expected from the Patriots. They have swooped in and signed Zeke on a year contract worth $6 million.

The Free Agent will provide competition to the Patriots’ roster alongside adding a new element to the team. With Belichick looking to turn the ship around at New England, Zeke may provide the lacking element in the franchise.

Jerry Jones will not be looking forward to the visit of the Patriots in Week 4 when they host their former RB. With the added twist of fate to the upcoming season, things just got a little trickier for the Cowboys.
