Put a C on his uniform

Still doesn't make him the best. Just wishful thinking. So everyone sucks except Zeke. lol That's your stance? So if you were a Rams fan you would still be saying Zeke's better? Barkleys better and he's truly on a crap offense.

If you want to say Saquon is better than Zeke you will get no argument out of me but how anyone could say Gurley who's injury prone is better than Zeke is mind boggling. Zeke at his worst would never average 3.2 yards a carry. Never.

Such a steal of a contract

Also Zeke shouldn't get more than this. Jaylon has a bigger impact on the game.

I hope all the people who talked smack about Jaylon last week when he said he wanted to stay a Cowboy are now humbled.

Jaylon was the guy I was afraid we'd lose in the wake of an Elliott deal. So glad he's locked up for the foreseeable future. Love that kid!

I remember all the resident "doctors" saying he will never have a meaningful snap in the NFL

Lol, yep, I was just thinking about that. I remember thread after thread about his nerves. I remember he would make those vague statements on Twitter and we'd try to figure out what it meant. Now he's an all pro stud lb and his nerve doesn't get on my nerves anymore. And someone else said it, but he really is one of the good guys in the league. Always love good people that are super talented. Great job FO with drafting him and locking him up.

He's done nothing. He's had one good year.

From draft day to where he is now as a player is light years difference.

To say he's done nothing is a major insult to Jaylon.

He averaged 4.9 and had 21 TDs. 4.7 and 19 the year before?

That seems like a steal of a contract. Great for the team, and yes Jaylon will be fine too financially with it.

what i love about this deal is that NO ONE is questioning whether Jaylon is worth top 5 money after a single great season. I like the bet on him but still.

To review. Jaylon, top 5 money after one great season. Zeke can go to hell after three great seasons. And don't even start with the "going about it the right way" garbage.

Dude, it’s individualistic greed - plain and simple..

He doesn’t understand or appreciate the team concept, which is sad, because you know he’d be a local hero and set up for life in Texas if he’d just be a good Cowboy.

If he won a SB in Dallas, he’d never want for anything...

He’s already made 30M - come on, bro... Sadly, it’s greed..

YIKES

Jaylon's been in the league for three years. He was able to play in two of them.

Zeke has been in the league for 3 years. He's been a workhorse for the Cowboys all three of them, but did miss 6 games due to suspension.

Jaylon gets $64 million, with $35.5 million guaranteed.

Zeke is set to make $12.1 million the next two years, combined.

That says a lot about how running backs are viewed today. I can see why Zeke wouldn't think that's fair, but it's where we are now. Congrats to Jaylon.
