The days of being free agents could soon be over for Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott. The running backs are actively seeking teams interested in their services, and it appears that they have chosen the same club to play for this year.

I think Dalvin and Zeke are gonna sign with two weeks to go (before the season starts),” Lombardi said on the PatMcAfee Show. “I think both know where they’re gonna go. I think both don’t want to play yet until camp gets over.”
