The Facts: Per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, Elliott wants to get an extension done this offseason, not next year, similar to how Todd Gurley got paid after his third season.

Diehards Line: The 23-year-old Elliott can renegotiate his contract after his third season, just as the Cowboys can place a fifth-year option on the former first-round pick to sign him up through the 2020 season. Elliott ran for a league-best 1,434 yards this regular season to go along with six rushing scores to no doubt aid mightily in the Cowboys ascent to an NFC East title and an appearance in the playoffs, where they will host the Seahawks on Saturday night.
