Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys
Contract: Six years, $90 million
Year signed: 2019
$50 million of his contract to be guaranteed
Elliott raised the bar and became the highest paid back in NFL history, agreeing to a six-year, $90 million deal with the Cowboys. In total, this contract now links him to Dallas for the next eight years at $103 million. His is also reportedly at $50 million of his contract to be guaranteed, which is higher than Rams running back Todd Gurley. Elliott is also the first Dallas Cowboy to eclipse $100 million.
Zeke has been the star in Dallas' offense ever since they selected him fourth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. He's arguably the most important player to his offense compared to the other backs below him so it's no wonder why he's now atop this list. Out of the three years he's been in the league, he's never not went over a thousand yards from scrimmage.
