Unlike Dak and Jaylon, Zeke may look at his football monies as his only avenue make money. Others, like Dak, Jaylon, etc. seem to have ways to make money through endorsements/commercials and business opportunities. Therefore, they may see the benefit of what being associated with the Cowboys can offer off of the field and more willing to compromise on a contract.
Zeke on the other hand hasn't shown any tendency to be focused on business outside of football. His off field discretion's have prevented him from securing marketing opportunities. So, he may not think that just being a Cowboy will offer him much more income wise.

If he just keeps his nose clean and does his job, he will get opportunities. Look at Tiger Woods and Martha Stewart, people just love to forgive. Plus, that DV situation is still questionable and he can outrun that.

He does the Salvation Army donation and pays for that young man's funeral, he's not a bad guy, just an immature one that likes to party. Hell, I'm pushing 7 decades and trying to mature.

His agent will give him any money he needs, knowing the next contract will reciprocate that 10 fold.
I don't think his agent has that type of money.

Zeke's rookie contract appears to be more than half of all dollar that agent has under contract.

I don't see any reason Zeke would not have been marketable up to now.

Welp that's on him. Jerruah said something about this a couple of years ago. When he talk about companies want endorsements and he point them to certain players.

Definitely not true.

Archie Griffin, Him and Eddie George are gods back in Ohio. I’m sure somebody will find some way to market him

Yeah. He isn't getting that Campbell's soup money.

Y'all think these guys are making tons on endorsements. Unless you are REALLY big like Lebron, you just aren't getting huge sums of money that way.

Yet his expenses continue. Thus a key component of him having no leverage. Jones revenue stream isn't affected whether Zeke shows up or not.

Really?

Suspended for Domestic Violence (as stupid and untrue as it was, he was STILL suspended for it).
On film pulling down a woman's top.
Public intoxication and perhaps a bit of battery.

Yeah, just the type of wholesome guy that I want representing my product.

That said, he's a hell of a football player.

Dak makes $3million/yr with Campbells soup. Definitely not chump change
