Ezekiel Elliott leaked a “wish list” of teams he would like to play for after he was cut by the Cowboys, but the interest doesn’t seem to be mutual.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted a report Thursday that Elliott, 27, had “narrowed his options about where to play” to the Bengals, Eagles, and Jets – but so far, it appears none of those teams have actually offered him a contract.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was asked by local ABC affiliate WCPO-TV about the report and implied that Schefter’s tweet was the first he heard of it at all. “There’s a lot of great players that are available right now,” Taylor said with a smile. “We like our team as where it’s at right now. But it’s always funny when things get thrown around. Sometimes, it’s the first you hear of it. But that’s just the way life works.”Cincinnati lost running back Samaje Perine to the Denver Broncos in free agency, and Joe Mixon’s future is up in the air with rumors of a release lingering.
