Dallas, TX—Ezekiel "Zeke" Elliott, the longtime Dallas Cowboys running back, is adjusting to life after taking a massive pay cut by diving headfirst into a surprising new hobby: extreme couponing.
“If you’re used to having a $50 million guaranteed contract, moving to a $2 million one requires some belt tightening,” team owner Jerry Jones quipped from one of his private jets.
Sources say Elliott, known for his love of stylish haircuts and lavish lifestyle, has been spotted in Kroger with a binder full of coupons. "I never knew the thrill of getting 50 cents off on canned beans," Elliott reportedly told teammates, proudly showing off his haul of discounted items.
While Elliott's new contract is lighter on the wallet, he's embracing his frugal side with clipping coupons and hunting for BOGO deals.
He's been seen driving a sensible sedan instead of his usual luxury car and has taken to posting online about his best bargain finds. "Why spend $300 on one dinner when you can eat for a week on that from Trader Joe’s?" he joked.
Teammates have noticed the change. "Zeke brought a lunchbox to practice," chuckled Dak Prescott. "It was Tupperware and everything! Said it was cheaper than eating out."
