Longtime Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has had a quiet offseason.
Months after being released by the only team he’s ever played for, the former No. 4 overall pick remains a free agent. However, that could change by the end of today.
According to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Elliott is taking a visit to the New England Patriots on Saturday.
“2x All-Pro RB Ezekiel Elliott is visiting the #Patriots today,” Schultz said on Twitter. “This could impact the RB-needy AFC East, as well as the Dalvin Cook derby, since he and Elliott are considered the top backs available. Zeke looked terrific in the videos he posted of his workouts.”

The All-Pro running back could have some competition to make the roster in New England. Earlier this offseason, the team worked out veteran tailback Leonard Fournette and it expected to host Dalvin Cook for a meeting as well.
During the 2022 season, Elliott racked up 876 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground for the Cowboys in 15 games played.
Should the Patriots sign him?
