Amidst the Ezekiel Elliott destination rumors, one running back doesn't seem on board with the idea of the former Dallas Cowboys ball-carrier joining his team.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall said in a now-deleted tweet Thursday that "we good over here" before asking teammate Michael Carter what he thought. Hall didn't reference Elliott by name, but fans and analysts on Twitter assumed the second-year running back was striking down a potential signing of the veteran free agent.

The former Ohio State Buckeyes running back was released by the Cowboys on March 15 after seven years with the franchise and narrowed his three options down to the Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals Thursday.

Since his release, Elliott has gotten support from current and former Cowboys, including Dak Prescott, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.

The St. Louis native tweeted Thursday that he wants his college number, 15, at his new landing spot after wearing No. 21 for his entire professional career. The current No. 15 on the Jets' roster is fourth-year quarterback Chris Streveler from South Dakota.

Hall tore his ACL in week 7 against the Denver Broncos, as his rookie season was cut short after totaling 463 yards and four touchdowns on 80 carries.

Michael Carter shouldered the load in Hall's absence, toting it 114 times for 402 yards and finding the end zone three times.

The other running back on the Jets roster is Zonovan Knight, who ran for 300 yards and one score last season.

Elliott led the league in rushing yards twice, while rushing for 1,000 yards in four of his seven seasons in the NFL. So far in his career, he has rushed for 8,262 yards and 68 touchdowns — both third in Cowboys franchise history.
