Twitter: Now saying they could have Zeke deal done by weekend

[VACowboy]

Nice. Like there is a rule you should get 20% more if you are (arguably) the best at your position.

Three points to remember Zeke:

1. You are also the “best” RB when it comes to off field incidents, so your contract should reflect that

2. You are not a consensus pick for best at your position... Saquon Barkley is right now

3. You are living in TX where there is no income tax... so your take home pay is going to be more than Gurley who is losing 13% in CA

4. You're #1 in fumbles.

5. "Arguably" means may or may not be.

Differs from fan to player. Players gotta make as much as they can in there prime. But to me getting 25 million in the first 4 years would have me set for life even if I only clear half. Heck I could retire you and me with that. Now he will likely make another 30-40 million.

I heard some old players saying in the day they didn’t want to reset the market. Just a dollar more than the last contract. Not millions.

Zeke is just greedy. As someone else said, there's nothing he can get with top RB $ that he couldn't get with top 5 RB $. Also he's already made a handsome sum from Jerry. Tells me he's not the kind of guy I want on this team. Let him go play on a team with minimal OL talent and no passing game to clear the box. Let's see what kind of numbers he puts up then.

According to some here he doesnt have a passing game now because Dak is the worst QB in the league

Dak fumbles even more from option hes hardly hit like Zeke. Odd he will make double what Zeke makes at least Zeke truly is top market guy the top 3 RBs arguably could be #1. Dak well hes actually ranked out of the top 10..sorry good try but the hate and trolling is insane for one of the best players on our team..he will and has earned top money whereas Dak is robbing the cowboys at over 30...

Lets just stop focusing on the players money and get to game 1 with our BEST 22 starting and yes Zeke is part of that..you dont like it root for the Texans. You then can complain that in 56 years and 2 franchises have ZERO Sbs not just 5 and a drought lol

OOO another @if you don't like it (translation: If you disagree with ME) root for someone else post!@ Haven't seen one of those in forever!! LOLOL.

right. because you would take less money than market value if in the same situation. right?

They and the agents are getting worse and worse. D-Law, Dez. Seems like Dak. Wait and see how the quiet patient Cooper acts next year.

I take into consideration how much he's already been paid, that we still have a lot of other people to pay and how much of a suspension risk he is.

If you do NOT like who is on the field for the Cowboys, you have choice..go root for someone else...

Can’t wait for all these overpaid contracts to flip every troll on whichever side they are taking by game 1.. i am loving it... Go Cowboys. !!!!!!!

There better be clauses in this high dollar contract.

I'm thinking we could put this baby to bed by Mon or Tues.........

But knowing Jerry, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Dak's deal is announced at the same time.

I don't think Jerry would ever announce both at the same time! You think he would miss out on an opportunity for a separate media grabbing event.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

LOL ....you guys are fighting the wrong entities. I mean you honestly think the Cowboys and Zeke or Dak are only team/players making huge deals. Teams and players are simply playing the system. A system YOU are paying for BTW.....lol

 

[glimmerman]

Elliot is flying back into town for a charity event hosted by Dak. We offer a pretty sweet deal. Maybe he stays. If he flies in and flies back or declines the offer then if I am the FO I cut talks.

I was a out to post this.

You stole all my likes!

It's better that it just gets done and over with. I hope they are smart enough to include a clause about off the field behavior. Would be much more comfortable if that happens but doubt they will.

Can't imagine they wouldn't address that in some form - such as guaranteed money or signing bonus if not a conduct clause.

I said this earlier. I see a big guarantee (in the realm of Gurley) but he has to meet certain incentives and certain conduct policies to obtain it.

That would be freakin awesome!

Zeke would be an idiot, which all know he is, if he takes this deal. Why settle for second best if you know you’re the best? He’s admitting he’s not as good as Gurley. Don’t let Jerry slap you around like this Zeke!

No Zeke would be smart. Gurley plays in California where the state tax alone is 13%. Texas has no state tax. Guess that doesn’t fit your agenda.
