I have defended Zeke on this board, argued he is the best RB back in the league, argued that he cant just be replaced by a rookie, and even agreed that he needed to be paid "Gurley money".
However, this latest stunt of going back to Cabo after coming back to Dallas for a single day, and claiming that he is disrespected by Jerry, is just enough. Its obvious that Zeke cares about nobody and nothing but $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Look, I have been one of Jerry's biggest critics on this board, but the man bent over backwards to help Zeke out. Went to war with the Commish, had to repay the league millions of dollars out of his own pocket to cover their legal bills, and probably affected the officiating we got on the field (9 games without a hold call ring a bell). And this is how Zeke repays Jerry for going to bat for him? Hold out, fly to Cabo, issue demands left and right, and then get butt hurt over a joke.
That's it fellas, I'm done with the POS...…..trade his arse to Buffalo or some other NFL wasteland.
This is a players union problem and they should weigh in on it. The rookie salary cap was put into place, so more money could be directed towards veteran players. Owners were paying escalating salaries to rookies and the veterans salaries were being inappropriately affected.
If you start negotiating rookie deals it will change the financial system that all parties agreed upon. Elliott has to bend here in my opinion.
