The Facts: According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Cowboys have officially picked up the fifth-year option on Elliott. He's now under contract through the 2020 season.
Diehards Line:
The Cowboys had previously confirmed this was their plan, so it comes as no real surprise. The Cowboys know they will have to pay Elliott soon enough, but with Amari Cooper and Dak Prescott both up for free agency after the 2019 campaign, ensuring Zeke is under contract through 2020 frees up the franchise tag just in case the Cowboys need to employ the contract device again.
