Zeke wants two things: Win and Get Paid

[kskboys]

.............BUT>>> GM's are seeing something else?

Scope here:Zeke

What a moron.

Getting paid and winning are generally opposite items. The fact that he's putting them together shows how dumb he is.

 

[kskboys]

If he’s looking to get paid a lot, his career will be over. He’s going to have to settle for a reasonable contract.

He already got paid.

 

[CCBoy]

He already got paid.

He's been showing a depleted style on the carpet for the past three seasons. He is a professional football player and as such, valid, but his ship sailed and he sits to high in the water to take on really rough water.

....the guy should have stayed here and taken paycut. Now it looks bad for him.

Would have gotten more from Jerry than he'll get elsewhere.
It's unlikely he'll get *either* money or wins. He's just not a desirable commodity at this point. 3.8 ypc last year. That's just sad. 4.0 ypt is even sadder.

The one thing he has going for him is his youth. I wouldn't be surprised at seeing him have a couple of good years left *after* this year.
A year or two of light duty could rejuvenate him.

Much to my chagrin.

Shoulda clawed back money when he held out, forcing him to come back for half a season to get his 4th vested year, then traded his 5th year rights to another team.

He's averaged over 4 ypc for the 3 years past that last half year he would have had to play to get vested. And was the highest paid RB over those years.

Debacle.

He shouldn't sign until November. Join a team making a late playoff run for about $2 Million for the remainder of the season.

He could take an extended period of tie to get his body right for the first time. Then possibly shed a few pounds.

If it works out he could find himself back in the league the following season for game 1.

2023 should be a partial sabbatical year.

Better odds than winning Powerball...

 

[noshame]

He'll end up taking less and find a place as a short yardage/goal line back which he can still do fairly well

No he should’ve have.

 

[MikeB80]

Zeke is not worth much and he won't get the big pay day at any point of the season.

If he is smart and waits for injuries or for a team to realize they need someone with this skillset he will get a nice incentive laden deal and probably can make a few more million. He also will be able to maybe get on a super bowl contender and get a ring.

 

[MyFairLady]

What a POS no wonder we never win anything.

Why does this myth keep popping up? NFL GMs not named Jerry Jones are generally smart enough to know that any featured back that you have either gets the short yardage or you find another featured back. Paying a guy to just get short yards is foolish beyond belief. If your starter can't do it then you need to start over at RB.

He has no skill set of note these days. Any given young back will do it better for longer, and cheaper.

Only some Cowboy fans believe that short yardage specialist garbage. The rest of the league doesn’t seem to be impressed.

They didn't offer him a paycut...

 

[Miller]

But I saw him moving his feet quick..ishly around trash cans on a home video. He must be ready for a big year.

Hell no. Good riddance.

Zeke reveals two things he wants: Extra large fries and one yard per carry.

 

[diamonddelts]

Man I would never hire you as an agent.

Zeke should not sign anywhere until at least the middle of camp. His best shot at being on a good team and making a good salary this year is waiting for injuries.

There are a lot of teams who will appreciate a smart physical player who can step in and pass protect and play the role of the thumper. When guys start going down they are not going to want unprepared inexperienced players who cant be trusted on short notice.

Zeke should not even think about signing right now. One of these playoff teams will come calling in the fall after injuries start happening as they always do.

I hope it is Dallas for the comedy of it.

Thumper? Ummmmmm no. Zeke hasn't found an ankle tackle yet that he doesn't like.

 

[jay94]

Any other team he would of been cut 2 years ago.
