That’s not the way to handle the guy. You don’t want a Leveon Bell situation.Cowboys should make Zeke play out his 5th year deal.
Franchise tag him in 2021.
Then let him walk in free agency so that his deal could still yield them a 3rd round comp pick.
Not remotely close to the truth. And also, what Dak’s agent is asking is not going to be what he gets.With what’ Dak is asking, he pretty much guaranteed that Dallas won’t be able to resign Zeke.
For sure, but will it be beyond what The Cowboys think a RB - even an elite RB - is worth?Zeke's deal will stand on it's own.
Just a personal opinion. Just me thinking Zeke will end up with more career yards than Gurley, if they both have full careers.Why is he better?

Interesting post.Dak aint getting $$$$$
Can't say. Stephen tends to be reasonable.For sure, but will it be beyond what The Cowboys think a RB - even an elite RB - is worth?
Why am I doubting this?Zeke has no leverage to ask for anything. The Cowboys have stood by him when he was in trouble with the league back in 2017 and now again in 2019. He's approaching year 4 of a 5-year contract and he's not at the top of the negotiation totem pole. The Cowboys will franchise him before paying him Gurley money.
I agree that Stephen is fair, although we tend to label him as cheap.Can't say. Stephen tends to be reasonable.
The Rams knew Todd would have some arthritic problems because of his ACL surgery before they inked his contract. I wonder if this causes Zeke's agent to expect even more money for Zeke when they start their negotiations. And if they do ask for more than Gurley's $15m ($45m guaranteed), will that get SJ thinking more along the Franchise Tag route.

Ah, but you're over-working it. We don't have to actually think things thru before we post our opinions.Matey, we might be over thinking this, and you know much I hate to think.
But anyone who takes an offer from Zeke needs to ask for a discount from Zeke because of his proclivity for bad behavior and suspensions.
That's the point. Zeke is the engine, but do you commit that much long term money to 1 player in a fairly high risk position?Gurley getting hurt doesn't mean that Zeke gets a larger deal, if anything, it emphasizes the risk on the team's end of guaranteeing $45M.
That being said, I don't think Zeke's going to sign for any less than $15M (it'll probably inflate to $16M by the time we get around paying him next season). David Johnson got $13M at 26, Le'Veon Bell just got $13M at 27 and after a year out of football, and would you really take either of those guys over a 25 year old Zeke?
You... are magnificent.Ah, but you're over-working it. We don't have to actually think things thru before we post our opinions.
Well shucks...now I'm blushing. Well if I was anybody else I would be.You... are magnificent.
Zeke is better. Better requires more money. The end.
Interesting post.
Care to expound upon said premise?
Be cool, if you're correct, by the by.
