Certainly wouldn't go out getting sloshed being a public spectacle nearly breaking the edge of the law, both public and moral, not would I be asking for a raise nearly middle of a contract...
I would in fact be grateful for the opportunity and honor my duty to the best of my abilities. God honest truth there..

I am really intrigued what measurement Helman used to conclude "a lot of people."
Observing extremely vocal or loud commentary does not always equal 'a lot'. It could simply mean some people are just making a lot of noise.

draaaaaaaaama.....I don't blame Zeke for wanting to get "his", but this should be happening next off-season - he will set a precedent for all future early first round players by holding out now if dallas pays him top money when he has two years left

I'm shocked, ol buddy. I'd think that you as a coach would believe no one player makes a team. Then again, maybe it's a lack of faith in our coaching staff to scheme around our missing star.

How many in the Great Depression made more than Zeke?

Not everyone is greedy.

My age is showing here, but I often wonder if today's athletes compete more for the money than for love of their sport. I admit I come from a sport that didn't then and doesn't now, have anywhere near the payoff of other sports.
I never finished in the money, and it wasn't what I sought. I made a lot more money on my day job than I could have made winning an event in several rodeos. It busted me up good at times, but I loved it.
With all the money flowing into sports these days, I can't really blame anyone for wanting to grab all they can. However, when do players and owners decide enough is enough?
Fans pay the salaries and make billionaires richer. Everything each person involved in a sport makes ultimately comes out of our pockets, either directly or indirectly.

Players make life changing money in one year. That's the problem. If Zeke gets a monster contract, other players get less, as well as lessening our super bowl chances. Owners provide the means for the players to make this type of money. What the owners make is almost irrelevant.

Bottom line here is this. When, or if, Elliott is signed, his butt better be ready to go. No excuses of "he's not in football shape yet". And most of all, l hope Dallas AT LEAST protects themselves in the new contract with a conduct clause. We all know the knucklehead can't stay out of trouble...

Someone still doesn’t understand how contracts work. At what point do you stop showing such ignorance with regards to contract details?

And yet many football players don’t take the path Zeke has taken. Dak should hold out too. He’s in worse position than Zeke in terms of money. But he’s in camp.
In other words, your point probably isn’t accurate.

Constructed too if one TB is the difference between SB caliber and bottom half of the league.

You can't compare other players. Position to position maybe.
RB's have 5 - 7 years. Can be cut any time. You have to get what you're worth.
Dak doesn't have the same shelf life. Cooper doesn't either. They have longer delta to get paid.
You don't understand the dynamics so your point is moot.
