Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones remains "very optimistic" that the team will get a deal done with Ezekiel Elliott ahead of Week 1.
While Jones cautioned that no deal is imminent, he's still confident the sides will find a middle ground before the Cowboys open their season against New York on September 8. "We feel confident things will get done," said Jones during his weekly radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan. "Things happen real quick, sometime within hours." ESPN's Ed Werder reported earlier this week that Dallas had offered Elliott an extension that would make him the second-highest-paid back in the league behind L.A.'s Todd Gurley. The last we heard, Zeke was in Mexico training with Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk.
