Gallup got paid after an injury, will we do the same for Pollard?

[Coogiguy03]

We saw the injury to Gallup and how limited he seemed this past season. Do we keep this in mind when assessing whether to keep Pollard or not?? Give your thoughts please...

 

[USArmyVet]

Of course, because Jerry and Co. love paying injured players thinking they got a good deal.

 

[acr731]

Jerry paid Dak after a very bad injury as well. This must be the new trend.

I don't think Pollards injury is as bad as Daks was, though.

 

[CashMan]

It would be idiotic to either franchise him or pay him a lot of money right now.

 

[unionjack8]

Yep, without doubt we will give him a 4 year deal worth big dollars and hamstrung this teamagain.
Love TP but 1 tag then walk

YES Pollard should get a new deal. Why is Pollards injury considered so serious? He will be fully recovered and ready to go in plenty of time for next year.

 

[USArmyVet]

Paid DLaw when he was injured and look at the return on investment
Drafted then paid Jaylon Smith and look at the return on investment
Paid Dak when he was injured and look at the return on investment
Paid Gallup when he was injured and look at the return on investment.

Franchise tagged. If he plays well you extend him, if not he’s gone next year. Pretty simple

 

[Asklesko]

No. We have Zeke. Face it. Pollard's gone.

 

[stiletto]

No. We have Zeke. Face it. Pollard's gone.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

He has definite earned a new deal but the reality in the NFL is that running backs are expendable.

franchising Tony and drafting another fresh RB is in the best interest of the team…….unless Tony agrees to a manageable contract, which isn’t in his best interest.

Just wait until FA. How many injured players will be signed from the dumpster on 1 year prove it deals.

And you will love the taste of it once Zeke leads the NFL in rushing yards for 2023 season. Under the new great offense with MM.







Don't take this serious...as some will....

Yes ^^^^^ This

I wouldn't let the Pollard injury affect the decision on his contract unless additional information comes out. It was an ankle sprain which is extremely common in the NFL and a bone fracture, both are almost certain to completely heal and do so before camp starts. Based on the current information we have this is a non factor.

The bigger question is do you want to lock up another RB to a long term deal or not. Personally, I think this is an easy franchise opportunity paired with a mid round draft pick.

This. The Cowboys should draft two running backs and use the money for Zeke/Pollard for the defensive line and wide receiver positions.

YES cause our GM is an idiot!!!!

You're welcome.

I’m sure Anthony Barr is bolded and priority number 1

Wow, if not for the injury he would not have been a cowboy and probably signed for close to 50% more contract pay. I guess you forgot.
