Twitter: 2023 FA Running Backs. re: Tony Pollard

[Texas_Pete]

I don't think Stephen pays him and that's sad. He barely has any typical RB wear and tear on his body and he's absolutely a weapon.

What type of comp pick will the Cowboys get when he leaves via FA? 3rd? 4th?

Hate to see him go but he deserves his payday. I just don't see it here with Dem Boyz.

Wow, some good RB’s there.

I don’t think anyone’s gonna pay him super high. It’ll be in the 10M area. If you move on from Zeke and use rookie deals I don’t mind paying Pollard 10M.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Yeah, the way drunken Jerry was heaping praise on Zeke whose best games are past him; and minimizing Tony's play makes you feel he didn't want to give ammo to Tony's agent. Sorry Jerry, the agent is locked and loaded. TP does deserve his pay day... RBs are not getting the love WRs are getting in FA so it won't be anything close to what overpaid Zeke is getting now. Will be a lot less. So Tony would be a bargain on a three or four year deal max.

 

[Retro88]

I like Pollard but that list and the draft is exactly why I'm not too worried about the situation.

 

[baltcowboy]

Good draft as well. I would tag Pollard and draft Zeke’s replacement in the third.

 

[Praxit]

..Pollard is keeper, if price is right.

 

[Dallasfann]

Yall weird. Draft a RB in the third round next year. Pollard is a great player but this entire board has *****ed and moaned about Zeke getting paid years ago. If I'm an NFL GM I draft a RB in the 3rd round every 3 years. It's that simple. RB's are the easiest thing on the field to replace, ESPECIALLY, with a offensive line that the Cowboys have. I don't think Pollard is some super human RB, I think he is fast and plays behind a great line.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Let Pollard walk and pick up Jamaal Williams. Or let Zeke walk, re-sign Pollard, then pick up Jamaal Williams.

 

[OmerV]

I don't think it's at all certain Pollard will leave.

It could happen ...

But it also could happen that ...

* Pollard sees his touches going up the rest of the year and re-signs with Dallas
* The Cowboys move on from Zeke and his salary, and make Pollard the lead RB
* The Cowboys tag Pollard - non-exclusive franchise tag or transition tag

 

[aikemirv]

We will see if the market has corrected itself with the signing of Saquan.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Sanders is a guy I would like to take a flyer on. He doesn't have much sex appeal because he's never had a 1000 yard season and doesn't score TDs, but he's got a 5.1 career YPC average.

 

[cnuball21]

5mil or less for a FA then draft someone.

With good OL play half of those dudes could rush for 1K plus.

That should help keep the salary numbers on the lower side!

We can either pay him, or use the 3rd or 4th round comp pick for his replacement. Pollard was a 4th round pick, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility that we get a replacement for him with that pick.

The comp pick is a year later, but if we draft a RB in this draft the pick used would be offset by the incoming pick the following year and you get cheap labor out of that pick.

 

[RandyOh]

A lot of good solid backs potentially hitting FA. We could be overestimating how much it could cost to keep Pollard.

 

[Staubacher]

What's sad is all that wasted capital on Zeke and nothing to show for it. And Pollard's prime cheap years underutilized

 

[sacase]

Pollard is walking as he should. He gets a starting job and max pay. Dallas knows his weaknesses and won't pay him even if they cut zeke. If you cut zeke that is 12 mil dead cap. If you pay pollard 10 mil that's 22 mil locked up at RB all for a guy who is a change of pace back who can't block. If you cut zeke you have to go with a draft pick. Period. Pollard should and will take the biggest contract he can get.

 

[CWR]

You can transition tag him and at worst we pay one year, avg top 10. Plus we get a chance to match any offer.

I’ll take some Saquon please.
