The Dallas Cowboys don't seem to be in a hurry when it comes to working on a contract extension for running back Ezekiel Elliott.

It's a big offseason in Dallas, as the team has tried to continue adding pieces to the roster that could help the franchise return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1996.

Of course, Elliott is one of the most impactful players on the team, and he's someone that the Cowboys will continue to rely on to produce huge numbers on offense.

However, given the nature of Elliott's current contract, it doesn't appear that the team is too concerned about rushing to sign their star running back to an extension just yet.

From Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:

“Well, I think those are all a work in progress,” Jones said in a #PFTPM interview, via NFL.com. “Certainly we’ve got a couple years there with Zeke to get that done. We certainly want to get him done. He’s the straw, if you will, that stirs our drink. He’s a key part of what we’re about. Those things take time to get done. They don’t happen overnight. Certainly he’s a priority in terms of ultimately getting him signed. There hasn’t really been a timetable put on this.”

As Jones mentioned, the Cowboys have a few more seasons to get Elliott signed to an extension, and that allows both parties some flexibility.

And given what Elliott has accomplished since joining the franchise, it's clear that he's going to be a top priority when those contract talks begin.
