Still believe what the Jones boys say?

When it became apparent Zeke was holding out at the beginning of training camp this summer, Stephen Jones famously declared, “We’re not going to set the market.”

Jerry made chest thumping declarations implying opposition to Zeke’s contract position. Remember “Zeke Who”? Remember his long winded wandering defiant answers at Jaylon Smith’s contract extension press conference? Or his calls to a Dallas radio station?

I don’t have a problem with Zeke’s contract. Glad he’s getting paid. My problem is with the frequent and distracting mouth running of our front office. The Jones boys love to talk. But in the end, they don’t say much that ends up being true.

First lesson, take what ANYONE says with a grain of salt. And if fans wouldn't hang on every word life would be much less stressful.
Seriously, who cares what anyone says? Nothing is written in stone and whether or not they stick to their "word" is irrelevant.

I don’t think they minded Elliot not showing to TC and we don’t play him preseason. The jaw jacking wasnt needed but that’s them. And we don’t know what Elliot’s side was originally asking. Maybe 17 a year or something unreal. In the end both sides bent.

id say Gurley and the Rams did , did they not start all this?. now they paid that JAG Goff 33 mil..now they have the highest paid RB, a 33mil QB, and the highest paid DT in the legue..

id say welcome to the new NFL..this has just begun..this is the new realities and nothing the Jones boys can be faulted for..

again why does what the owners spend on players become so important to the FAN..watch the dang games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! contracts and money have no ;lace to get fans riled up this much..

we watch and comment on games.. not money.. unless you are the Packers who the fans actually are stock holders , this should not matter one bit.. something to talk about but passing blame and getting into heated arguments.. just not smart

They may not have set the market. Zekes deal doesn’t begin for 2 more years. By that time 15 mil may not be tops for a RB. It’s average is the highest but also has most years of team control. It’s a compromise.

Plus of the 90 mil only 50 is guaranteed so it allows them to get out in the later years if needed
