Ezekiel Elliott's playing time expectations may be the reason why the running back remains unsigned.

Skip Peete, running backs coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who previous held that position with the Cowboys, said that Elliott would be a good fit with the Bucs if he was willing to accept a smaller role and a smaller salary. 

"I think that's part of the reason he's sitting out there," Peete said. "If you're going to play, I mean, you're going to be the second and third guy. That's kind of what the price is. So. that's something that a person has to be able to see that that is what it is going to be."
