5 best Ezekiel Elliott landing spots if Cowboys cut RB

1. Los Angeles Rams

If we were the Rams, we would act as though the 2022 season never happened. Poof.

In this hypothetical scenario, Los Angeles Rams’ Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford would be looking to run in back in 2023, and they can get a top-tier running back in Ezekiel Elliott to increase their chances of winning another ring.

Do the Rams need to make major moves this offseason to repair their offensive line, among other areas? Absolutely.

But with a healthy Stafford and Cooper Kupp back on the field and with McVay turning down an outrageous amount of money to continue coaching this godforsaken 5-12 squad, the Rams shouldn’t be forgotten so quickly.

Especially if they manage to get their hands on Zeke this offseason. Los Angeles made it to the big stage in 2021 for a host of reasons, one of them being the effective one-two punch of Sony Michel and Darrell Henderson. Both those backs’ departures have since left a gaping hole on the ground, one that Zeke could theoretically fill right away.

Cam Akers was the sore subject of trade rumors for several weeks in 2022, and the Rams would be doing everyone involved a huge favor by just ending his misery. Trade him or cut him, but start anew.

An offensive trio of Stafford, Kupp, and Elliott should strike fear into any team’s hearts. Throw in a reliable tight end in Tyler Higbee, revamp the offensive line, plug in a few defensive holes, and you’ve got yourself a Super Bowl contender.

Screw ’em picks, am I right?
