Zeke is worth more to Dallas than other teams so trading him wouldn't provide enough return. Most of the teams that believe in a bell-cow running back approach already have one.

As for teaching young players to honor their contract, I'd agree except owners don't honor them so why should players?

Owners have to honor contracts. I mean, there really is no in between.

Colin is right here. The track record of signing running backs to big second contracts is pretty terrible.

I would much rather keep Byron Jones over Ezekiel Elliott. If to keep Jones we have to trade Elliott I'd do it in a second, even if you couldn't get a 1.
Glad you don't run the team. For the Cowboys Zeke is more valuable then Byron.

He's not making 3.8 Mil. He's making 7.9 this season.
Man, that duncun baboso poster, is mission oriented, weirdly touting his singular monotoned tired tempo of kazoo tune by the turgid toots forced outta' his backside blow hole,,,:rolleyes:o_O:rolleyes:

Pay him AFTER his contract is up. Teach these young men to honor their word and commitments. Allowing these delusional kids to break agreements further stunts their maturity.

I'd agree with that if management didn't break just as many contracts.

You don't trust much though so some filtration is needed.
I have a bar owner friend who told me there were two other bar fights he's been in than the ones we already know about.

He did this crap at Ohio State regularly.

Just a matter of time.

Owners cut guys and renig on deals all the time? Signing bonuses and guarentees they have to pay, but there's a lot thats not guaranteed on most contracts?

I believe it. Doesn't change my statement, but I believe it.

Has Zeke actually said he was holding out or is all this hand wringing just from the gospel according to Florio? He's never been wrong before, has he?

Colin said he thought Houston would give us two firsts and a mid-level RB. I would be all over that...today...right now.

I cant imagine anyone giving us two first round picks for Zeke. As much as Id hate to lose him you take that deal in a heartbeat. I think he can be replaced but plugging in the next DMC wont get us to the promise land. If we were to lose Zeke I think we'd have to invest an early round pick on whomever we plan to be our next bell cow.
