Snip from a long Athletic article by Bob Sturm
"The Cowboys are already pot-committed to Elliott's money being fully guaranteed in 2021. In five months, they also must decide whether to commit to all of 2022 as well, at another million dollars per game. So here's the real question: If he is no longer breaking big plays and there are very few cases of players actually getting more explosive with age and high mileage should the Cowboys seriously consider turning down his March 2021 activator and playing with $24 million in dead money (split into two seasons) to get out of another doubling-down of his contract in 2022?"
