Signed by Cowboys Cowboys agree to extension with Zeke

When did I post here the word "Punk'?

That's your type of language here.....

I called Zeke a punk. You turned it on the fans and posters.

I'll have you know that my kids bought me the bug a salt for my birthday and I've been slaying fruit flying like I'm in the mafia and they were snitches!

Those things are great.

I dont care what anyone says



Them paying Zeke this amount of money says a lot of what they think about Dak and his ability to carry this team without him

They think very highly of Dak. I'll bet you Dak will get paid more than Zeke will. Probably twice as much.

The second happiest RB in the league right now is Saquan Barkley.

 

[Doomsday101]

Hated it took this long but was never in doubt that a deal would be done. Be glad to see Zeke on practice field today as they get ready for NY

 

[Loso86]

Yeah, that will teach him.

Haha

You give this wonderful site a imagine it really doesn't deserve!!!!!

 

[JoeKing]

How are they going to be coming for him. Are you advocating for violence? This is the state of a certain segment of this country now.

Just my opinion, bro. See something, say something.

They probably will but this Zeke contract does say a lot of what they think of him...
And, hey, they are not wrong, this team needs him if they want to win.

It’s a very dangerous opinion. One that could get you in trouble if you said it out in the open instead of behind a keyboard.

Dude is getting all the Giants money in 2 years

I remember getting upset during the pre draft of 2016 hearing Dallas was going to take Zeke. They had just signed Morris and McFadden had a solid year. That being said, Zeke has been exceptional since he has been in Dallas. He really should have won the 2016 OROY (Dak did deserve it). Had he not been suspended in 2017 he would have lead the league in rushing three years in a row. And being honest, our offensive line hasn't been all that great the last two years. It has been good but not the best in the league. I'm happy a deal is done. A few things:

1) I hope Dallas has an out after 2024. Zeke is 24 right now. He would be 31 in 2026. I can't see him playing at a top level that long. I think he has 5 really good years left. He is durable. I'm sure Dallas front-loaded the deal too.
2) I think running backs are making a comeback in this league. From 2001-2013 there were really only two great running backs (LT and AP). Now you have Bell, Gurley (Knee), Zeke, Saquon, Kamara, and CMC. Price tag will probably go up too.
3) He HAS to stay out of trouble. Period. There better be some kind of clause that if he gets in trouble then Dallas can say bye.

Thing I love about this franchise is that he still has a long way to go to be considered in the same breath as Dorsett and Emmitt. Zeke will probably be #4 in franchise rushing yards after this year and #3 after next year.

What are the details of the deal? What are his cap hits and when can the Cowboys cut him with the lowest amount of dead money?

coming soon this just hit an details left out.. all I know is only 50 is guaranteed..no big deal really..


I dont get all this up in arls over this deal, when JAG like goff gets 110 mil all guaranteed and zeke get only 50 , thats the real issues.. a QB now who is just good player and lets get that starting look at goffs last 7 games last ayear and the playoffs..pretty below average stuff right there.. who carried them through the playoffs, CJ and Gurley who ran over us CJ and Gurley..huh a RB carried the rams to the sb buit Goff gets 110 and we are raging mad Zeke got 50mil..

this is the issue..its QB money out of fn control

 

[Chuck 54]

Once again, folks looking at the big numbers that mean nothing unless he’s still a super star and worth the money in 6 years. We have secured him through his prime in the next 4 years. Over that time, his average pay is fair and manageable. He gets big cash up front and guaranteed while we have the freedom to continue giving him a heavy load if needed.

If he starts to wear down, he’ll never see a huge chunk of that contract. And he upfront and guaranteed money also makes him tradeable in 3-4 years.

 

[JoeKing]

Well, what are they going to do, take pipe to his knees Harding-style after Jerry just guaranteed him 50 mil? Maybe just stick to booing him please.

Just my opinion,bro. See something, say something.

Okay.

I encourage all members to use more appropriate adjectives within their comments for describing their thoughts.

 

[Stash]

No.
He needs to factor in the current years remaining plus the new
Zelke is 12.9 million over 8 years
After 4 years, they can release him if the want and save about 50 million. If hes still ballin’ that wont happen, but they do have an out.

Exactly. He's showing his lack of seeing the big picture. Gurley's deal extended a two year deal to six. Zeke's extends a two year deal to eight. That's a lot more room to spread out cap hits and backload a deal so you can get out of it if you want or need to.

 

[ConstantReboot]

They probably will but this Zeke contract does say a lot of what they think of him...

No one is saying Zeke is not important to the team. Just also pointing out that just because the paid Zeke doesn't mean they don't think highly of Dak.

To think that was silly.
