Ezekiel Elliott got his wish. Now that the Dallas Cowboys have compensated him as the highest-paid running back in football, the Dallas Cowboys star hardly minced words when asked why he sought that distinction in contract negotiations. “Because I believe I’m the best,” Elliott said, per ESPN’s Todd Archer. On Wednesday, Elliott signed a six-year, […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs didn’t suit up for the team’s latest practice due to a hamstring injury, according to Pro Football Talk.
