well that zeke is also gone to be fair.
MEANWHILE after Pappy posts....
Kamara is suspended to start the season and CMC missed almost all of last year... I'd say out of the three we've gotten the most production and return on investment even though the contract is not in our favor.
Funny how this works, RB, DL, WR the list goes on, it’s not bashing the player it’s the contract, what happened to the it’s the market, it’s the way it works next guy up gets more to reset the market so don’t worry about the money, the caps going up, why what’s ok for Dak isn’t ok for all the players. Talk about hypocrisy from you. They get paid they under perform they are in the best shape of their life, they disappear in the big games it’s the Dallas way, Jerry feels this is a team build to win a championship LMAO. Thanks for the laughs king troll.
Some refuse to see that. It's Zeke money that's the problem on this board......want a RB getting his own yardage at that pay. OL is not up to the acclaimed status earned over the years. Injuries to the OL have taken a toll, depth for good blocking has suffered, and reputation has blinded some to only sling rocks at Zeke.
If you believe or have bought into the hype from Jethro that this is a team built to win a championship the joke is on you.
any large second contract to any RB is bad. I don't care how good they are. history shows none are worth the money. RBs can easily be found in any round and can be RB by committe as proven by many teams.We’ll start by getting this out of the way. Ezekiel Elliott is a very talented football player. He brings value to any team he is on. He is a durable running back, he is a fierce blocker in pass protection, and he can be a very productive player. The Cowboys are a better team with him on the roster, although the ability to replace him probably isn’t as hard as the Cowboys staff thinks it would be.
All of this is a long way of saying Elliott is a quality back who can help his team, but he shouldn’t be the highest paid running back in the game. Way back in 2019, the Cowboys made a mistake by handing Elliott a huge contract after he held out of training camp. That mistake haunts them to this day.
Just how miscalculated that contract was can be shown in a recent article from ESPN discussing the highest-paid players in the league at each position. They break their figures down by the highest three-year average, and highest guaranteed money. Elliott is second in average per year, and is first in guaranteed money.
Highest three-year APY:
1. Christian McCaffrey, $17.2 million
Signed: April 2020 (contract ends in 2025)
2. Ezekiel Elliott (DAL), $16 million
3. Alvin Kamara (NO), $12.7 million
Total guaranteed money:
1. Ezekiel Elliott, $50.05 million
Signed: September 2019 (contract ends in 2026)
2. Christian McCaffrey (CAR), $36.3 million
3. Alvin Kamara (NO), $34.3 million

Second contracts like this certainly aren’t healthy. And you make the point that this writer was making that we could have found another RB in draft.
its his lack of football knowledge and how to put a team together. once again, he thought, hey, 2016 we went 1-1 in playoffs and we are ready to make a run in 2017, and he paid Zeke, thinking superbowl here I come.
I’m not sure if it’s totally idiocy or his priorities are not what they should be.
Fans forget Murray led the league with basically same OL in 2014 as Zeke had in 2016.
This has been one of my major gripes. You nailed it. A number of backs in this offense, with this line could have put up great numbers.
One more example of the jones boys incompetence. We could have gotten Zeke for less with a REAL GM and competent people around him.We’ll start by getting this out of the way.
