The Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott have reached a contract extension that makes him the highest paid running back in NFL history.
Elliott signs a 6-year, $90 million contract extension to bring the total value of his contract to 8 years and $103 million, with $50 of the $90 million guaranteed.
This according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Todd Archer.
Elliott, entering into his fourth season with the Cowboys, had two years remaining on his rookie deal.
The 2018 NFL rushing champion began his holdout back on July 26th in hopes of securing a new contract from the Cowboys.
His holdout has now produced the most money that a running back has ever received.
