I agree Jerry shouldn’t have said anything but it’s peanuts compared to what Zeke has done. Not only has he disrespected Jerry, but the entire organization, in ways much worse than openly talking about contract negotiations which again, he basically is by sitting out. Why is it ok for a player to sit out because they don’t feel they are being paid enough but not for an owner to talk about it? Everyone knows why he’s sitting out, does he really need to say anything? As always, Zeke started this, not Jerry.
I couldn’t care less about out performing his contract. Does Jerry get his money back if Zeke isn’t regarded as the best rusher in the league next year? Would Jerry have got any of his 25 million that was guaranteed to Zeke if he didn’t play up to the Cowboys standards? The answer is no and no, therefore he shouldn’t be able to cripple the entire team because he feels like he deserves it.
I think LVE did a hell of a job as a rookie and outperformed the pay he gets for where he was drafted, would you support him sitting out this year? When does it stop? When exactly do you think it’s ok for a player not to show up for work when he’s under contract to do so? Honest question.
