Elliott was not on the team’s plane when the players left together. He could have taken another plane to Oxnard, but when he did not show up by the time he was required to be there, a holdout was reported.
105.3 The Fan says in their story that Elliott would like to receive $10 million per season. Elliott is one of three players the team will have to decide on a contract extension around the same time.
Besides Elliott, quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper are the other two. Cooper was acquired by the Cowboys in a trade with the Oakland Raiders last season.
The 24-year-old St. Louis, Missouri native was the Cowboys fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent the last three seasons with the team.
During the 2018 season, he appeared in 15 games, including 15 starts. He had 304 carries for 1,434 yards and six touchdowns.
Elliott also had 77 receptions for 567 yards and three additional touchdowns.
