Elliott spent his first seven seasons with the Cowboys after the team took him with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He went on to lead the league in rushing yards in two of his first three seasons and totaled 8,262 rushing yards, 68 rushing touchdowns and 12 receiving touchdowns across his seven-year tenure in Dallas.

Elliott joined the Patriots just weeks before the 2023 season kicked off and picked up 642 rushing yards with five total touchdowns across 17 games in New England.

The Cowboys were in the market for a running back this offseason after Tony Pollard signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency. Team owner Jerry Jones voiced his interest in Texas running back Jonathan Brooks entering Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, but the Carolina Panthers traded up to draft him 10 picks before the Cowboys were on the clock in the second round.
