Ezekiel Elliott informs Cowboys he won't play in 2019 without a new contract

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not play in the 2019 season without a new contract, a source close to the situation told ESPN's Josina Anderson on Tuesday.
The source added that, at this time, it is not likely that Elliott's holdout continues into the regular season, based on the belief that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to get a new deal done with the running back prior to Week 1.
Elliott informed the Cowboys that he would not play without a new contract in January, the source said.
On Monday, former NFL running back Eric Dickerson said on FS1's "Undisputed" that he spoke with Elliott's agent Rocky Arceneaux. According to Dickerson, Arceneaux said it was possible Elliott would miss part of the regular season but that they didn't want that to happen.
Jones said last week that he believed a contract extension would be reached with Elliott but that the deal needed to allow the Cowboys to keep all its talent "under the same roof." The Cowboys are also negotiating extensions with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper.
The owner also said he does not believe there is a time when a deal has to be put in place, such as the start of the regular season.
Since the start of Cowboys training camp, Elliott has been in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to work out, sources previously told ESPN.
Elliott continues to be subject to a fine of $40,000 per day, and the Cowboys can also come after a prorated portion of his signing bonus. If he does not report before the Aug. 10 preseason opener at the San Francisco 49ers, he could be fined a regular-season game check of roughly $226,000.
He is under contract through 2020 and is set to make $3.853 million this season and $9.09 million next.

I know the guy has money, but paying that much a day in fines has to be hurting him.

Bold, slightly dumb strategy.

"Working out". I'm so sure.

Im sure they won't fine him though.
But even still 40k a day, 1.2mil a month. Jesus.

Cowboys are smart for this. Get everything they can out of him for nothing then trade him.

Doesn’t he put off FA for a year by not showing up by a certain date?

Except this is nothing like that situation. Zeke is under contract until after next season. 
Bell refused a franchise tag.

As a guy who has the 4th pick in his fantasy draft I'm not at all excited about these holdouts.

Cowboys also have Cooper, Dak and Zeke to give contracts to and that could be like $60 mil/year for those 3 players

Just warms my heart.

That date is today.

I wouldn’t give in.
Also the Cowboys took RB Tony Pollard from Memphis in the 4th round and apparently is turning heads and has been working with the first team. That would be funny if was the breakout player in preseason during all of this.

If he didn’t come with all the baggage/suspensions then I’d say sign him to a four year deal and be done with it. But with this, I’d say trade him to Arizona for David Johnson and a 2nd round pick.

This was the rumor until it was noted that his fifth year option has already been picked up. To be available for free agency you only need four accrued years.
He could holdout for a good while this season and not lose the year.

Local media in Dallas are saying Jerry and co are a little taken a back because apparently they have bailed Zeke out of numerous shite storms over the past few years and he does this to them.
Jerry’s been like a father to him and he’s swept a bunch under the rug. Zeke won’t do it but he should give them a discount based off that.
