Skip Bayless criticizes Cowboys' PR move by signing Ezekiel Elliott

Cowboys bring back RB Ezekiel Elliott after one-year absence, Skip Bayless calls it a PR move by Jerry Jones.

The Dallas Cowboys are making a big move by bringing back running back Ezekiel Elliott after a year away from the team. However, some, like sports analyst Skip Bayless, believe this is just a publicity stunt by team owner Jerry Jones.

During a recent episode of 'UNDISPUTED', Bayless criticized the Cowboys for not addressing their running back needs in the 2024 NFL Draft and instead relying on Elliott's return to appease fans. The signing is a one-year deal worth three million dollars, with two million guaranteed.

Bayless is concerned about Elliott's declining performance over the years, noting that his yards per game have decreased every season. He points out that Elliott had a career-low 3.5 yards per carry last season with the New England Patriots.

Despite Elliott's impressive stats during his time with the Cowboys, including over 8,000 rushing yards and 68 touchdowns, Bayless questions whether he can still be a top performer. He believes that Elliott's return may only provide a short-term boost to the team.

Overall, Bayless sees Elliott's comeback as a nostalgic move that may not have a significant impact on the Cowboys' performance. While it may be a feel-good story for fans, Bayless remains skeptical about Elliott's ability to make a substantial contribution to the team.
