105.3 The Fan's Mike Bacsik foresees: The club cutting bait with its $90 million workhorse following the 2021 season.
Bacsik took to the airwaves Friday to predict Elliott's eventual ouster in a salary cap-driven move by a front office that, he argues, mistakenly invested in a devalued NFL position and an "average running back."

Quote:
"I think when we get to the end of the 2021 season, the Cowboys will look to release Ezekiel Elliott. I think they're going to look at their financial aspect because I think they are committed to Dak [Prescott] being the quarterback of the future. And I think they're going to just look at financially and look at his production and go, 'Guys, it might be best to take a hit now and open up money for later.'
"I think we're going to start hearing whispers out of Frisco that there's a possibility that the Cowboys are going to release Elliott after the 2021 season. And it will be a financial hit. But I think they're looking at it going, 'We can't keep paying this every year to a guy who is at best an average running back.'"
