Tony Pollard is a free agent after this season

[Jayinem]

How much will it take to keep him? Are we going to have to pay him more than Zeke?

Should the Jones' be talking about a contract with him right now? I don't want him to hit the open market.

No more paying running backs big money. I hope they learned from Zeke, use Pollard as much as you can the rest of the season

You want him to walk? He's looking like one of the best weapons in the entire NFL.

I'd cut Zeke and pay him if that's possible, but I'm no cap expert.

Zeke once looked like one of the best weapons in the NFL too

Tag him if need be

Zeke got fat, I don't see Pollard getting fat. But who knows.

100% correct. Pollard is 25 playing his 4th season. That's prime for a RB. Already made that mistake with Zeke. You can draft a replacement, as special as Pollard is this season.

Wow Zeke isn't a free agent until 2027? Has to be a way out of that.

We may have to release Zeke and give most of that money to Pollard. We can't let him go.

The contract on Zeke says cap hit 11.8 million for next season. Would we have to eat that? It's 11.8, then 6 mil then 1. I don't see the Jones' eating 11.8 million dollars in cap room.

Zeke was never as versatile as Pollard on a consistent basis, especially as a downfield receiver.

 

[Jayinem]

As mentioned before we'll probably tag Pollard, and then keep Zeke but then after next season cut Zeke and maybe pay Pollard. But sooner or later we gotta pay Micah and CeeDee.

I would prioritize Pollard over CeeDee personally because CeeDee is just average to me, but that's just my opinion maybe some disagree.

I don't know why we didn't extend him? Sometimes this FO is either too lazy to do their job or just plain dumb.

I don't want Zeke. There is no reason to. We can draft someone else to take his place.

Ceedee ain't going anywhere. Maybe for two more years.

This.. cut Zeke (hopefully he reworks his deal/pay cut)or whatever and franchise pollard

Cap hit is 11.8 million, he's under contract. We can't just let him go for free, he's also untradeable. I don't want Zeke either but they'll keep him over cutting him and still losing 11.8 on the cap I pretty much guarantee that.

If they don't they are stupid. Pay Pollard and let Zeke go. They should have never signed that contract with Zeke in the first place.

Nah I would still cut him and eat that 11.8 million. Teach old man Jerry a lesson.

This OL is elite. You see how good the third stringer looks when he gets carries. It’s the OL.

A rookie can come in and be special behind this OL. Imagine Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker or Rachaad White behind this line. Don’t need to pay Pollard top 5 rb money to have a run game.

unfortunately this team likes to resign it’s guys, and I can see them not learning from their mistake with Zeke.
