Jaylon is worth more. Higher character, better leader, and just as talented.

The Cowboys have won their last 4 games without Zeke.

Against 4 lousy teams. They failed to score 10 points in the first three games without Zeke against legit teams.

And 4-3 L7 without Zeke. Sounds good until you provide context.

28-13 with him in the lineup since his rookie year.

Tell me which winning % is better?

with the 5 year 64.5 mill contract. is zeke worth 15 mill he is asking? even with the discount Jaylon gave.....is a top 5 MLB not worth more than a top 5 RB

Zeke keeps Jaylon off the field...
Cut Zeke!

I'd say they are pretty close in value, and they'll be paid pretty close. Gun to my head I'm taking Jaylon,because Mikes who can both hammer downhill and cover the deep middle are tough to find.

No. Coverage linebackers are becoming increasingly valuable assets with the move towards quick passing attacks. RBs are going in the opposite direction (not that they’ve been all that valuable to begin with).

Jaylon is a RKG, so yes.

Then give him the contract he wants and cut him before it ends. Problem solved.

Since when is just giving the player what they want a good business decision? Jerry has an entire team to think about and one way he's hung himself in the past is by marrying himself to the wrong players. Personally, I don't trust Zeke. It's not about his production on the field, it's about his inability to stay out of trouble off of it. It's only a matter of time before he gets hit with another suspension. You want to give that guy #1 runnningback money? Not without a boatload of caveats.

& because Jaylon is a RKG and Zeke is the opposite of that.

If someone is willing to pay him more he is. And, he does have more history of success to date.

Pay Elliot 1 dollar more than gurly. The rams raised the market by quite a bit.

Leveon Bell reset the market. He was a FREE agent and could negotiate with all 32 teams. His skill set is comparable to Zekes.

This is probably short sighted granted the "new NFL" is geared toward offense. I really think Zeke is worth about the same except for his weak mindedness which reflect on the business negatively.

maher bout to get PAID

cowboyec · Aug 21, 2019

to me....no.
Jaylon Smith is everything you'd want a Dallas Cowboy to be.
helluva player.
helluva LB.
helluva person.
helluva man.

Jaylon is the new leader of the defense though. Zeke gets the ball and puts points on the board but the defense keeps points OFF the board and Jaylon is a big part of that. He has taken Sean Lee's Mantle.

Yep, and it was only 2 short seasons ago( before Jaylon and LVE)that we saw the impact Lee's absence had on the defense.

But even with that being said, I still know I need Zeke for this offense to come anywhere close to functional. So I gotta go with Zeke.

Guess I'll see once the real bullets starts to fly as they say.

Zeke who???

On this team, Zeke should be getting the $30 million per year contract, and Dak should be getting the $13.5 deal.

Yes, and if Zeke leaves, than can go ahead and get rid of Dak. Dak is average with Zeke. He is beyond horrible without him.

I think the offense can score more with Zeke playing and Dak being out than if Dak is playing and Zeke is out.

Zeke has produced more than Jaylon, but a good contract should be about what you expect to get during it rather than a reward for prior performance.

Bottom line is RBs are viewed as more easily replaced than other positions in today's NFL.

Jaylon is worth 10 times more than
Zeke as long as fat boy is in Cabo and not here.
