You've also been yelling at anyone who expresses a remotely negative sentiment in a preseason game, so pardon me if I don't bow to your wisdom. :muttley:

Obviously, it's going to work out. Despite the clowns saying "Zeke has no leverage" the Cowboys have been negotiating with him all along.
I only point out those who consistently express negative sentiments so let’s get that straight.

Guess what, the poster had no comeback for the facts of contract holdouts so he attacks the poster personally. That is pretty sad in my book considering he probably has no clue what the poster does for a living. The poster could be a NASA scientist or a brain surgeon or many other things that are more important or special than an athlete. Bringing in money does not make you special.

Fact, a player holding out is not honoring the contract. An owner cutting a player is honoring the contract. If you don't like the facts fine, but don't argue them when you are wrong!

There are millions of fire fighters, police, and people in the armed forces. There's only about 2k players in the NFL, scarcity makes them special.

Are you talking about DLaw? or Jaylon?

Not Zeke? He makes less than TCrawford.

I wouldn't have given DLaw that contract either, but we did. So there's not as much left to go around. RB is one of the most replaceable positions on the team. So I'd rather not make Zeke the highest paid RB in the NFL. Especially with his off the field track record. Who knows how long he'll even be in the field.

So you wouldn't have given any of our young talent the money ....... but you are worried about losing all our young talent.

Brilliant.

Well a player holding out is still honoring the contract. The contract gives the owner exclusive rights to the players services and included fines for non performance written in to it. The player cannot hold out and go sign with another team. The possibility of a player retiring or walking away or holding out is written into the contract so therefor the contract is still being honored. Just not the part that you want to focus on.

This is a fact.

Maybe its because you are not capable of making any sense.

Or maybe you just lack comprehension.

Because I didn't like one contract we handed out, you imply that means I wouldn't pay any of our good young players.

Stupid. Lol

I would pay Zeke but not Prescott. How many great players could we get with that gargantuan amount of money we'd save by not paying Prescott? A ton.

The problem is he wants to get paid like a QB that has won a Super Bowl when he hasn't won squat
Right. I think he should get Alex Smith or Case Keenum money because that's who he is.

And don't give me the "winning games" argument. Alex Smith drove the bus in multiple winning seasons for the 49ers and Chiefs and got third tier QB money. Case Keenum drove the bus in Minnesota's great year and got third tier QB money. Prescott should be the same standard. He's not a great QB and never will be.

I see your just as "smart" as you have always been lol ...... and just as easy.

Keep saving that money ........ maybe one day they will get a player you want to spend it on :muttley:

I see you continue to bring no substance to the table but still think alot of yourself even though everyone else sees what a half brained twit you are. Lol

If you need clarification next time, just ask, K big guy? :)

And what exactly has Carson Wentz won?

He got $32 mill

That set the market...……just like Gurley set the market for Zeke, Wentz set the market for Dak. You and me may not like it, but that is the way the league works.
