Ezekiel Elliott just got PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDD!!!
The Dallas Cowboys superstar ended his holdout Wednesday by inking the most lucrative running back deal EVER — signing a new 6-year, $90 MILLION contract to stay with the ‘Boys!!!
Zeke had been away from Dallas camp all summer … protesting the final two years of his rookie contract that were set to pay him just $3.85 million this year and $9 million in 2020.
But, Jerry Jones tore up that old deal and gave his star RB an average of $15 MILLION a year annually … which puts Zeke on track to play this weekend for the Giants.
That’s right, fantasy owners — BREATHE!!
As for Jerry and the ‘Boys, seems this deal was a no-brainer … everyone from Terrell Owens to Michael Irvin told TMZ Sports over the past few weeks Dallas HAS TO HAVE Elliott to win a Super Bowl this season.

Of course, there is some worry of rust … Elliott hasn’t taken a hit from an NFL player since he suited up for the Cowboys in their playoff game against the Rams last winter.
And, when we spoke to ex-NFL superstar Chris Johnson, he told us that concern is legitimate.

But, Dallas sure seems set to let him shake off all that dust this weekend … Jason Garrett told reporters earlier this week the guy didn’t need much practice to suit up against the Giants on Sunday.
As for what’s next for the Cowboys … Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper still need to be paid.
Keep that checkbook nearby, Jerry!
