Ezekiel Elliot narrowed down to Eagles, Jets and Bengals

Kmed6000 : 3/23/2023 3:41 pm
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent RB Ezekiel Elliott has "narrowed" his options down to the Eagles, Jets, and Bengals.
He'd like to make the decision by the end of next week, per Schefter. Cincinnati would probably profile as Elliott's softest landing spot for fantasy purposes -- assuming that means they'd move on from Joe Mixon and not use Elliott as a goal-line battering ram. Signing with the Eagles might throw a crimp into Rashaad Penny's fantasy profile. The Jets would probably use him over Zonovan Knight as an early-down back. It's surprising that there's this much interest in Elliott coming off a rough 2022 season.


Any chance the Jets do Hard Knocks? Would be amazing tv.
He may even be less likeable as an Eagle

Great Point. He is already so dislikable. Then I have to deal with the Eagle fans excitement, like he is Emmitt Smith. Sometimes they make me hate them almost as much as I want the Giants to win.
dont really want to see ZEKE

behind that Eagles O-line.

He may be injured but hes probably not as Done as many think. Still only 27 (though he has a lot of tread on his tires). Dude still has a knack for the end zone
Jets apparently planning to

Run an offense with 7 WR’s, 3 RB’s and a QB on the field
join the Jets

then all we need is one player on their team to call it a "Dream Team" and 2011 happens again, just like magic.
I'm not going to troll the Jets

but OBJ and Ezekiel Elliot? OBJ is a high-risk/high-reward signing, but I get the high-reward part. So, sure, I guess. What are they going to do with Zeke? What would Zeke do for them?

I get that Breece Hall is on his rookie deal so their RB costs are contained, and they can afford to sign a veteran. But why Zeke? It's not like Zeke is the guy to rack up yards while Hall recovers... is he?

I wouldn't worry about it, Zeke is not good anymore.

Eagles once signed former Cowboys’ RB DeMarco Murray after the Cowboys let him go.

Aaron Rodgers would be a lure to the Jets.

Joe Burrow was at Ohio State in 2015 when Ezekiel Elliott was there.

Bazinga!
Jets going all in on older guys and broken down guys

And likely trading a bunch of their draft picks for Rodgers who probably bails after 1 year.

Now that's the way you build for sustained success.

please go to the eagles

this guy is worse than every RB on the eagles roster. zeke is total dust at this point in his career. every snap he's on the field will be a good thing for the other team

The thought of Zeke + Odell + Rodgers on the same roster...

Producers of shows like 'First Take' are wetting themselves. It reminds me of that scene from 'Almost Famous'...

'You tell him...it's a think piece...about a mid level band struggling with their own limitations in the...uh..harsh face of stardom. He'll wet himself.'

the Jets are so desperate for any kind of success, they prolly don't care if it's sustained.
apparently he narrowed it down, but forgot to
