Well, this news is SURE to fire up the entire city of Dallas.

Late Friday night, one particular Cowboys fan claims to have been on a flight to the Big D with none other than Ezekiel Elliott. It's worth noting, however, that we don't know how authentic this assertion is, but we also cannot ignore it's potential significance.

Yes, it's right to be skeptical here, but if you don't think that looks exactly like Zeke, then you might be insane. And judging by the lady's facial expression, it sure seems like she's sitting next to a famous athlete.

Cowboys insider Mike Fisher did, however, subsequently rain on the proverbial parade by claiming that Elliott's travels don't necessarily indicate that any progress has been made in his contract extension talks with the organization.

Sure, we value Mr. Fisher's opinion, but why shouldn't the America's Team faithful be exuberant that their franchise's cornerstone is allegedly leaving Cabo and heading home?

As always, stay tuned for updates for the confirmation on the two-time Pro-Bowler's inevitable arrival in Dallas. Or, of course, the verification that he is actually still training in Mexico.

This could be huge or disconcerting news for head coach Jason Garrett and Co.
