So how in the world did it go from not paying Gurley money to $90 million? We don't want to pay you $57 million so we'll give you $90 million instead?

Dang that's QB money and I mean Franchise QB money!!!!
That's a lot of money for sure. Zeke is special-at least I think he is. You can't argue about RB's in the last 20 years. Outside of AP and LT there really haven't been any special ones. But I think that is changing with Zeke, Bell, Gurley (Maybe-knee), CMC, Kamara, and Barkley. I think Running Back is making a comeback.

Now the pundits will be screaming that Jones overpaid. Wait for it.
Well I certainly don’t expect them to be saying, good job.

They’ll scream overpay overpay!!! For a few days, and then they’ll be quiet because it’s all they can do, lol.

We all knew it was going to be around $15M per year for months.

6 years is a concession on Elliott's part. His team likely wanted four at most so he could be a free agent again at 30. Most RBs are done by then but it isn't unheard of to be pretty productive as an every down back at 30 or 31 like Peterson or Emmitt.

Interested to see the guaranteed money. I suspect he's got about 20 in SB and a guaranteed salaries from 19-22.

Yep...

Looking like 40 Million. Not a win or loss for either side on that one.

If it’s only 40 mil guaranteed. That’s solid for the cowboys.

6 year extension, he probbaly isn’t seeing the last year or two of the deal. So if it’s backloaded. That’s great.
