2. Ezekiel Elliot
The Cowboys were full of excitement and optimism after an exciting offseason. Many fans believed that they could go on a postseason run and even become dark horses for the Super Bowl. Of course, the Cowboys are fantastic at letting everybody down, and they imploded quite spectacularly. After Dak Prescott suffered a gruesome, season-ending broken ankle, the team’s form deteriorated dramatically.
Elliot is emblematic of their poor display throughout the year. He played much better with Prescott, but without his quarterback, he hasn’t shown his qualities at all. One of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL, Elliot has averaged less than 65 yards per game and has more fumbles than touchdowns. Dallas must pay $24.5 million if they choose to trade him in 2021 or pay his guaranteed contract a year later. What a mess.
