The Cowboys released Ezekiel Elliott on Wednesday, making him a free agent.
, plus Elliott’s release from the Cowboys had some wondering whether Elliott would end up in Chicago, but a move like that would be counter-intuitive.
Elliott took the league by storm over his first three seasons with the Cowboys, but since then he hasn’t been the same player. What made Elliott a great running back early in his career was his rare blend of size, speed, power and elusiveness. But lately none of those traits have shown up consistently in his game. The numbers reflect the drop off, too. Elliott led the league in yards per game every year from 2016-2018 and averaged 101.2 yards per game over those three years.
Both Montgomery and Elliott add receiving to their repertoire, and again Montgomery outpaced Elliott in this department. Montgomery averaged 9.3 yards per reception in 2022, while Elliott managed only 5.4 YPR. Further, Elliott had three drops according to PFF, which was tied for 15th-most in the NFL among RBs with at least 25 targets. Montgomery only dropped one pass, which was tied for the second-fewest.
