He'll get a ton of touches. Both rushing a recieving. His YPC will probably go down. Possibly by alot, but for me he should be a good source of consistent points.
But you can have a much better overall team by trading him. If it's a snake draft your second pick is pretty much a 3rd rounder. Again that's just me though

Sorry, Coach, but I disagree. The Cowboys were 3-5 the first half of 2018 WITH ZEKE. Also, Zeke didn't do anything in the Rams playoff game loss when it mattered most. Couldn't even convert a game-costing crucial 4th & 1 conversion attempt needed at the Rams 30 yard line to help tie the game.
They were 3-5 with Dak as well... just saying.

Dumb move caving in to Zeke. Just watch, other key players are going to start doing the same even if they have years left on their contracts. Terrible precedent to set in motion.
How many other players are the best at there position on this team?

It will spread league wide. Something to address in the next CBA. Those talks should be interesting to say the least. Between the salary cap, 18 game seasons and weed, it will be entertaining.

Umm. Emmitt Smith.

Khalil Mack.

Geez, Cowboy history. League history going back a mere 11 months.
Absolutely wrong. Emmitt Smith held out during the last year of his rookie contract, NOT WITH 2 YEARS LEFT.

The more you try to cover up for this greedy RB, the more ignorant you Zeke supporters sound.

Contrary to popular mythology, Zeke has more leverage than most players. The notion that guys will be lining up around the block is nonsense.

Zeke himself was using what others did and got paid as a guideline for his own demands. They ALL do that to some degree, so it is not nonsense, it is commonplace.

Best at his position? Who? The one who rushed 20 times for a mere 47 yards against the Rams during the playoffs? That equals to 2.35 yards per carry. Best at his position you say? In the league? Team? ??? Where was he on 4th & 1 from the Rams 30 yard line, during the 4th quarter, with a 1st down conversion needed to keep the drive alive in order to be able to tie the game?

Jerry could have stopped this from becoming a league wide threat, but no, he caved in and actually gave it the energy it needed to really take off.

Seriously though, AB does appear to be plugged in. He called the Russel Wilson deal too, hours before it was reported.

I think we’re within 24 hours of a deal now.

Both Jerry and Stephen played too nice in the media. Talked too much period. Gave way too many compliments and promises. Personally, I would say screw him. Jerry went to the mat defending Zeke to the bitter end during all of his **** ups. Tried to fire the damn commissioner. Some kids do not appreciate/understand loyalty.
