Former Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott reportedly has been frustrated with the time it has taken to sign with an NFL team. pic.twitter.com/FQ6VpOaDXl
— NFL Rumors (@nflrums) April 8, 2023
Zeke isn’t going to camp with any team. The Boys may be the only team willing to give him a contract before the season starts. Otherwise he won’t be pursued until after the first week of the season when deals aren’t guaranteed.

Is there no irony at all in the fact that Kirk’s 2016 “fully guaranteed” contract was the EXACT SAME non-exclusive franchise tag that Baltimore has offered to Lamar Jackson???
If Lamar wants what Kirk’s got, the right move appears to be playing on the tag. https://t.co/HGWrdy2idO
— Bill-in-Bangkok (@billhorgan2005) April 8, 2023
This is good for everyone to see
What’s important to note about Kirk’s timeline is that in 2016 & 2017 he bet on himself by playing on the franchise tag two years in a row because negotiations never worked out with Washington
Kirk stayed healthy and it obviously paid off… https://t.co/pZoPn2eHd4
— Will Compton (@_willcompton) April 8, 2023
Sounds like Lamar should’ve hired Kirks agent
— OnePride (@Fozare1991) April 8, 2023
You’re totally right – Lamar should sign shorter, fully guaranteed contracts. It would make Baltimore happy (protects long term) and Lamar happy (full guarantee + elite money + can enter market again soon to re-up higher)

Teams valuing physical traits and upside at QB are focused on Houston’s Clayton Tune.
Experienced 4-year starter did good things at @seniorbowl & posted near perfect RAS score at Combine.

Hakeem Butler TD for the Battlehawks. That’s 6 receiving touchdowns for him this season.
I think an NFL team will make the call for him to join a roster for training camp this summer/fall.

The worst draft pick in WAS franchise history is also the worst in NFL history: RB/DB Cal Rossi, whom the Redskins drafted TWICE (9th overall in 1946 & 4th overall in ’47) but who never played a snap in NFL. He was a junior and ineligible in ’46 so the ‘Skins tried again in ’47. https://t.co/bkZ8AEBNha

Maybe this is obvious but, imo, these walk-and-talks are part of the deal the players made with the PGA Tour in response to LIV. Larger total purses in exchange for more access (and big names competing against each other at non-majors more often). Doubt we get Brooks or Phil. https://t.co/16zbDxza2B
