Exclusive Contract Details Revealed
Key Provisions of the Deal
In a groundbreaking move, renowned running back Ezekiel Elliott has inked a 1-year, $3 million contract with the New England Patriots. The deal includes a substantial $600,000 signing bonus, $1.1 million guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $3 million. This significant contract adds to the growing excitement surrounding the Patriots' upcoming season.
Elliott, who turns 29 in July, concluded his previous season with 642 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 184 carries, marking a career-low 3.5 yards per carry. Despite these challenges, Elliott remains a formidable force on the field, known for his exceptional speed and agility.
The contract negotiations were protracted, with Elliott initially holding out during training camp, leading to a six-year contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys worth $90 million, $50 million guaranteed. However, Elliott ultimately decided to join the Patriots, landing in New England after leaving a visit to Foxborough without a deal.
This move is a major boost for the Patriots, who are looking to add depth to their already formidable running back corps. Elliott's experience and talent will be invaluable as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike eagerly anticipate the impact he will have on the field.
