New England Patriots sign RB Ezekiel Elliott to 1-year, $4M deal

Free agent running back Ezekiel Elliott agreed to terms with the New England Patriots on a one-year deal. Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Elliott’s one-year deal with the Patriots includes a $3 million base salary and a $1 million signing bonus that can be worth up to $6 million with incentives.

Elliott confirmed the news on social media Monday, tweeting: “One Five, all the way live ! @Patriots” a reference to his plans to wear jersey No. 15, the number he wore while playing for Ohio State. Elliott wore No. 21 with the Cowboys, where he spent the first seven years of his career.

Elliott was released by the Cowboys on March 15 in a salary cap move. He had a career-low 876 rushing yards in 2022, but scored 12 touchdowns.

The Patriots will face the Cowboys in Week 4 on Sunday, Oct. 21.
