Who Cowboys fans want as kicker, plus their opinion on re-signing Ezekiel Elliott
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Cowboys fans have spoken, and we have the results. The other day we presented Cowboys fans with the opportunity to make their voices heard through a couple of polls we ran on free agent subjects. There is one free agent decision that Cowboys fans are waiting to hear about and that is who will challenge Tristan Vizcaino for the kicker spot. For many, Vizcaino seems like a placeholder for the eventual real kicker. Even special teams coordinator John Fassel has said that the Cowboys will bring in a veteran to compete for the position. After...

Cowboys poll: Signing a free agent kicker, and whether they should bring back Ezekiel Elliott
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports We need your feedback on a couple of Cowboys-related questions. While we are waiting around for the Dallas Cowboys to make some news, we thought it would be a good time to poll fans on a couple of free agent questions. Previously, special teams coach Jim Fassel let it be known that the Cowboys were very much interested in bringing in a veteran kicker at some point to compete with Tristan Vizcaino. He even mentioned a few by name. “It’s probably the easier way (to go) because you know what you’re going to get,” Fassel said. “If...

Price ceiling suggested for signing free agent Ezekiel Elliott, but the Cowboys might not want to go there
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Is a reunion in Dallas in the cards for Ezekiel Elliott? The Dallas Cowboys did what they needed to do when it came to veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott this offseason. The contract they gave the running back in 2019, which even at the time was criticized by some as being extravagant for a running back, had become even more burdensome given Elliott’s continuing slide in production. The calls for the team to use Tony Pollard grew year after year until this past year when Pollard became the lead back based on production. That pretty much...

Instead of Ezekiel Elliott, the Cowboys would be wise to turn their attention towards Dalvin Cook
Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports Dallas hasn’t closed the book on Zeke Elliott, but a different running back may be a better answer. Ever since the release of former Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, the team has been consistently linked to running backs heading into the draft, as well as free agents. To the surprise of many, the Cowboys did not select a RB in the 2023 draft until the sixth round, when they selected Kansas State RB Deuce Vaughn. While Vaughn provides a unique skill in the backfield, the team could still use one more reliable playmaker in the backfield,...

How the Cowboys running back group could offer the team a little bit of everything
Photo by Stacy Revere/ The running back position group brings about many questions, but it also offers up a wide range of skills. The running back position for the Dallas Cowboys has undergone major construction after the release of seven-year veteran Ezekiel Elliott. The team is temporarily leasing the services of Tony Pollard as they placed the franchise tag on him after his rookie contract expired. It’s unclear what the future holds with Pollard in terms of whether or not the Cowboys will re-up him long-term, or just move on from him after the 2023 season. With a...

One of those, Ezekiel Elliott, will come off the books on June 1st, leaving 88.
