At what cost? He's not a guy that's likely ever played special teams. The running back position has turned into a position where most teams choose to keep their financial resources low. I can see Elliott getting picked up, but I don't know how effective he'll be.

*80 total TDs.
Led the league in rushing twice in his first three seasons...he along with the Cowboys O-Line got Dak Prescott a windfall payday that I don't think he otherwise would have gotten.

Could still be an effective player for a couple more years IMO if healthy and in a committee situation. If he's relatively healthy he's a great short yardage and goal line type back for a contender.
These last couple seasons that many act like he was awful he was still pretty productive while battling injuries. Played with a partial PCL tear for most of 2021 and had some lesser knee issues last year and still rolled up close to 2,300 scrimmage yards and 24 TDs.

EE is a good pass blocker and a good receiver out of the backfield. If the Bengals could get him "cheap" I would like for them to sign him.

Absolutely.

I think that's going to be the key. Is he ok with going on the "cheap" route? Obviously he has enough money to retire. There are very few Frank Gore's out there who seemingly skills never dimish and the desire to play as long as possible. Maybe Elliott won't want to just hang around.

Zeke is roughly a $3.5-$4M dollar guy. Here's a breakdown of the RB FA signings so far-

I think that's enough to keep him around. He's made a lot of money but who knows how he's saved. He can still be a decent contributor in an RBBC situation. I would not be surprised if he ends up back at Dallas after he gauges the market.

He seems like he'd be a good fit to compliment the Ravens in addition to Dobbins.Zeke is roughly a $3.5-$4M dollar guy. Here's a breakdown of the RB FA signings so far-

That is the best fit I have herd with Elliott….providing Jackson returns to the Ravens.
If Elliott believes his value is far greater than a backup rb who plays no special teams, he could remain a FA. Sad if his last play in the NFL is getting trucked on the gadget last play of the game w/ the Cowboys in this years playoffs.
