Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout has officially begun.

The Dallas Cowboys’ star running back was absent from the team’s morning physical and conditioning run, according to NFL Network.

Although he did not officially say he plans to hold out, reports emerged that he would not join the team until he has a new deal. Elliott is owed $12,952,137 on the two remaining years of his rookie contract, according to Spotrac, but wants to ink a new contract sooner rather than later.

Elliott, 24, has led the league in rushing two of his three seasons since getting drafted fourth overall in 2016, and is likely looking to get a contract similar to, if not better than, the ones other star running backs have recently signed. Todd Gurley’s $14.37 million per year Le’Veon Bell’s $13.13 million per year and David Johnson’s $13 million per year all dwarf the $3.85 million Elliott is owed in 2019.

Now with Elliott’s holdout official, the Cowboys will likely have to make a choice between their star running back and quarterback Dak Prescott. The 25-year-old signal caller has just one year and $2,025,000 left on his rookie deal. Prescott’s 96.9 quarterback rating ranked 14th in the league in 2018.

Elliott is subject to be fined $40,000 every day he’s not in training camp, yet it’s still unclear if the Cowboys will do so. That’s at each team’s discretion.
