After months of contract talks between the Dallas Cowboys and RB Ezekiel Elliott, the rumors of a holdout have finally been put to rest. On Wednesday, the two sides agreed on an six-year, $90M extension to make him the highest-paid running back in the NFL

The #Cowboys & RB Ezekiel Elliott agree on a 6-year, $90M extension that makes him the highest-paid RB in the NFL, sources tell me and @SlaterNFL. Roughly half guaranteed. In all, it's $103M over 8 years—the 1st Cowboy to eclipse $100M in total value, the richest RB contract. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 4, 2019

In 15 games last season, Elliott rushed for 1,434 yards and 6 TD on 304 attempts. Since getting drafted by Dallas in 2016, he has lead the league in rushing in two of his first three seasons.
