Zeke's contract is too much dead money to move him, no?

Hard to imagine both being gone, maybe mayyybe one.

You'd think Greeny, or whoever he is would bother to peep the contract before making stupid comments? If he did he would see that Zeke's 2021 salary is already guaranteed. Cutting him would mean almost double the cap hit in a year the cap isn't rising. So he's here for 2021 which then means his 2022 salary is guaranteed, rinse and repeat. He'll be here until 2023.

I overheard on the radio today a clip of Greeny saying that he think that both Dak and Zeke will be gone from the Cowboys nest year. Greeny said that he thinks that Jerry is going to blow up the team, and that, he thinks they will have now have cap space to do so.

That's all I can remember. Sorry I couldn't find a YT video to back up what Greeny said today.

If they really wanted to blow up the cap why Crawford still on the team?

How are we going to get rid of unwanted contracts like Lawrence and Smith?

I doubt any team will take Zeke and his bloated contract. If Jerry is going to blow this team up I would hate to see what he puts together.

The only way to blow this team up is to fire himself and his son for any kind of football decisions.

Mike ain't doing his homework. Zeke's contract is *already* guaranteed for 2021. If we're dying to get rid of him, we can cut him to avoid guaranteeing 2022 on the 5th day of the league year *next* year, and lose him for two seasons.

We've already paid for a season. To get it, we have to guarantee another. It's kind of a two for one deal at this point. Jerry is going to ride that out.

Dak, I don't know. Next year the cap may plunge. And we should have a very high draft pick. Taking a top QB for a cheap 4 years is a good play.

Here's some things to think about concerning what Greenberg said. First Jerry and Stephen has said repeatedly that Prescott IS their QB for now and the future. Before Prescott's injury everyone in the organization saw how even when some had written the games off as a loss he still kept the offense moving and fighting to make comebacks to only also watch as the defense didn't stop any offense. All in the organization saw that Prescott was on pace to not just break the NFL total passing yard record but shatter it.

Next even though Elliott had turned into a fumbling machine this season and his rushing production has dropped every year since his rookie season the offensive line's play has steadily gotten worse too and that has an impact on a RB's ability to be productive.

Which brings us to a very important point. Every NFL team knows that unlike other years when the cap goes up, next season the cap is going to be smaller. With that intentionally adding more money on the dead money by releasing Elliott will not be an option. Because of Elliott's contract he is not tradeable so the only option is releasing him if indeed Elliott won't be with the Cowboys next season.

So with a smaller cap Greenberg says that Prescott won't be with the Cowboys next season but Prescott and the Cowboys had the #1 offense last season and until Prescott's injury was again the #1 offense. Until his injury he was setting NFL records like 3 consecutive games with 450 passing yards or more. He's the only NFL QB in the history of the NFL to do that. Now some say they could go with Dalton next year and draft another QB in the next draft but the biggest problems the team has is defense so if they use their #1 pick on a QB just how is that helping their biggest problem, other than the one they created by not signing Prescott. Oh and Dalton's current contract is just for this season so they would have to sign him too.

The only way what Greenberg said makes sense is if you are thinking in the same fantasy football ideology that he is.

I don't know what Greeny has seen in the 31 years of Jerry that would make him think this. I think Dak's spot in Dallas gets more stable with each horse #### performance of the other QB's. He's not going anywhere. Zeke, might be a different story depending on the consequences of moving on from him financially.

Greeny is an idiot. He predicted Wince would win the MVP and Darnold is better then Dak. The Cowboys suck so now talking heads need to something for clicks.

I'd like that......then we all can see what JJ's really been irked about. He is about image and the "face of the franchise" at the expense of winning. He can "sell' you, if you're that gullible. I hope he's around long enough for Grandson to become the QB, under the KMoore, JWitt, SLee coaching staff.
