Veteran Running Back Narrows Free Agency Destination To Three Teams

The NFL world has been on fire lately with so many signings, releases and trades, and while plenty of those have been shocking, one move that didn't surprise anyone was the release of veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott by the Dallas Cowboys.

Now, Elliott will be looking for a new home for the first time in his NFL career, and on Thursday, it was announced that he has narrowed down his list of potential destinations to three teams; the New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles. 

Cowboys’ RB Ezekiel Elliott has narrowed down his options about where to play to the Eagles, Jets and Bengals, and he would like to make his decision about where to sign by the end of next week, per sources.

It's clear at this point that Elliott values winning with his next team over playing time, and if he were to join any of these teams, he'd be a valuable piece in the backfield, even if he can't be the lead back that we've seen over his career thus far.
