The team has no choice when he returns. It would be past the trade deadline. They're not going to cut him.
The only thing the team has left is to fine him the max amount of money permissible. But be warned that probably makes the situation worse so save for last resort

The latest news, Elliott wants to be the highest paid running back. So they're going to take away guaranteed money and put it onto a salary so it sounds like he's the highest paid running back. Deal will get done

Sounds about right. He'll get plenty up front but not a mother load type amount. Still expect him to miss a week or two but I guess it depends on his conditioning level.

Lol, this is ridiculous, nothing but ego. He could probably get a worse deal than Gurly overall but as long as it appears he’s the highest paid back than that’s all that matters to him. What a chode.

Y'all are funny.

Who wouldn't want the league's best RB back?

Only those that that would like to have a built in excuse for Dak failing once again to finish in the top half of Qbr rankings. They can just blame it all on Zekes holdout. Pretty simple really

On one hand it’s easy to say “no I wouldn’t” because of his actions hurting the team. But on the other hand I’m sure a fresh zeke at week 10 and into the playoffs would be a big boost to the team.

If he’s in Cabo for another 10+ weeks he ain’t gonna be “fresh”.

Who here would even want him back by the 10th game of the season. At this point its over 20 yrs since our last SB i dont care if I have to keep waiting but Im to a point I want guys on this team other than the Zeke, AB and Odells of the world. I really dont want to see the team pay him more than 2nd highest in league and if the latest rumors are true let him sit out and don't look back.
If he rejoins the team at game 10 just to get accrued year in, who wants him. If we are winning without him I would take my chances and if our season went to **** who needs to win more games and hurt our draft order. He will have a year off and should get us at least a 1 and a 3rd. Just send him to Cincy or Miami or some place where he can win 3 games a year behind a garbage line. Tired of this guy even if we do sign him. Remember the old saying, when someone shows you who they are believe them!!
And for all you blaming the FO for not giving him what he wants, he has 2 years left on contract, sit out next year and I could understand but not this year.

If Pollard delivers, we can trade Zeke.

Look on the bright side, if Zeke doesn't play or comes back very late in the season, the Clapper will most likely be gone. Win-win situation.

From a much removed time, contracts are to be honored. Modern-day shams are shameless and unmanly.

You are a disillusioned diehard that is in for a rude awakening. Zeke's greed will not allow him to agree to the contract Jerry is offering. Zeke isn't coming back until week 11.

Then he needs to stay gone. I mean by week 11, why bother?

Zeke has already refused to show up.

Agree with the Zeke feelings but disagree with not caring about winning and waiting any longer.
