Ezekiel Elliott is on the hunt for a new home and one major team may be interested in his services.
Last week, Elliott was released by the Dallas Cowboys after 7 seasons with the team.

The Cowboys have informed the veteran running back that he will be designated as a post-June 1 release in order to create cap space, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday, per sources.
“Zeke’s impact and influence is seared into the Cowboys franchise in a very special and indelible way,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement.
According to NFL insider Matt Lombardo, the Buffalo Bills are a team to watch to sign Zeke.
Asked around on Ezekiel Elliott today.
According to a current #NFL GM: “He’s Lost his burst. Still tough, great in pass pro. Instinctive runner but doesn’t have same juice or legs he had in past. Not a featured back.”
Team, agent sources almost unanimously: Watch for #Bills

Lombardo goes on to report that if the Bills do sign Elliott, he would likely not get paid a ton of money.

If the Bills were looking to add the former No. 4 overall pick from the 2016 NFL Draft, they could land him on a significantly cheaper prove-it type of deal. An agent familiar with the running back market told Lombardo, “He’s not going to get big money this time around.”
