April 8, 2025 | Dallas, TX — The Dallas Cowboys offseason just got a whole lot more dramatic — and this time, it’s got nothing to do with playbooks or pass protection.

Rumors are swirling around running back Tony Pollard, who is allegedly dating a woman previously linked to former Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott. While Elliott is now with the New England Patriots, Dallas insiders say the emotional entanglements he left behind may still be rippling through the Cowboys locker room.

The story first gained traction on Monday when an anonymous Instagram gossip account posted photos of Pollard at a Dallas restaurant with an unidentified woman — who fans were quick to recognize as Zeke’s former girlfriend, an influencer who once appeared at Cowboys events during Elliott’s peak years with the team.

While no names have been officially confirmed, multiple sources close to the organization told local media that there’s “zero doubt” this is the same woman who was once romantically involved with Zeke. “It’s not just a coincidence,” one source said. “She was with Zeke during the 2019 season — and she’s definitely with Tony now.”

Neither Pollard nor Elliott has commented publicly on the situation, but Cowboys Nation is buzzing. Social media has exploded with speculation, memes, and wild theories. Hashtags like #RBEx and #ZekeToTony have been trending on X (formerly Twitter), with fans split on whether Pollard broke the unwritten “bro code.”

“Tony took more than just the RB1 role,” one user joked.
“No wonder Zeke left Dallas,” another wrote.

Some former players and sports commentators, however, urged fans to keep things in perspective. “This isn’t high school,” one NFL analyst said on a local radio show. “People move on. Relationships change. But in a spotlight like Dallas, everything gets magnified.”

Still, behind the scenes, sources say the Cowboys organization is quietly monitoring the situation. “They don’t want anything to interfere with team chemistry,” one insider said. “And this kind of thing — if it gets too public — can get messy fast.”

Whether the rumors are fact, fiction, or somewhere in between, one thing is clear: in Dallas, the drama never stops — even when the games do.
