By simply not paying Zeke.
Zeke was third in line for a contract, but Jerry gave in to the pouting brat.
If the Cowboys had just done what the Chargers did with Melvin Gordon, Zeke would be here (still on a rookie deal), and we’d be able to shell out $35 million for Dak and $20 million for Amari. Or franchise tag either/or, if negotiations weren’t going well.
But nooooooo, we had to overpay for the most replaceable position in football and back ourselves into a corner. It’s really coming back to bite us now.
Even if Zeke had held out and not come back, who cares? Anyone who says Pollard wouldn’t have similar production #s is a liar.
True that, but Jerry thought he could buy a championship by spending that kind of money, thought he had his ace in the hole.
Jerry was having flashbacks of the Charles Haley and Deion Sanders days, when you could add to an already stacked team, and push your way in.
A majority in this house this forum said it would be a huge mistake, and the pay Zeke supporters stood their ground buying in to the Jerry thought process.
Paying Zeke buried this team for several years now,, he runs like a fat Bell Cow,
collecting a large portion of the cap, and doesn't make a difference.
Jerry might be destroying this franchise with an Al Davis type of Dementia that totally buries a franchise for decades.
