5 teams that could sign Ezekiel Elliott after Cowboys release

Ezekiel Elliot landing spot No. 1: Los Angeles Chargers

Since the 2019 season, Kellen Moore served as the Cowboys offensive coordinator. During that span, they put up a lot of points and Elliott scored 40 rushing touchdowns as well as six through the air for Moore.

He might not have been at the top of his game for much of Moore’s tenure but he was still a trusted weapon that contributed not only as a runner and receiver but also served as a great blocker as well. More than once Zeke was seen sacrificing his body in order to give Dak Prescott another couple of seconds to get the pass off.

This year, Moore has a new home as he and the Cowboys decided to part ways. Moore headed to Los Angeles and will take over as the offensive coordinator for the Chargers, who could be in the market for a running back. Right now, they have Austin Ekeler but he’s requested a trade and the Chargers are willing to let that happen.

Elliott and Ekeler couldn’t be more different from one another if they tried. Zeke is a 228-pound back that wins with power. Ekeler, on the other hand, is just 200 pounds and while he has more than 900 yards in each of the past two seasons, he’s been more of a threat as a receiver.

Adding Elliott would soften the blow of losing Ekeler but wouldn’t prevent the Chargers from going after a rookie. Should they take this path, Zeke could serve as a mentor while helping others catch up in Moore’s offense
