Do not attach yourself to any player.

They can be gone at anytime.

It only leads to emotional distress.
Only thing you are emotionally distressed about is your troll thread being closed. Did someone get a warning in their inbox? Your posting tone has changed dramatically.

If a post june 1 cut, can we use that salary cap space before then? Or do we have to wait until June 1st?

10.9 million in space can go a long way if we can use now.

My thread just got merged into this one.

Why would I get a warning? I did nothing at all wrong.

I posted Zeke's last play as a Cowboys. A few of you that got attached to him are upset today, I get it and I understand, the news is still fresh.

Crazy to think it was 7 years ago already when we drafted him. Time flies. He was super fun to watch during his earlier years. 2016 was a fun season (despite the ending).

ONCE AGAIN.........that's the fan you are. I don't know how many other ways I Can say it. You don't have to understand why fans would be sad to see Zeke go. IF you don't understand it you never will.
Sorry, I dont understand. Makes no sense to me. I mean I understand how you might get attached. But when you watch a RB holding back a great back like Pollard, costing 18 million and making the Cowboys worse when he touches the ball? How can you sit there and watch that and not get pissed? Watching Zeke run the ball the last few years has been torcher. And then having to watch Pollard come in and then go back to the bench is nauseating.

He should’ve been gone years ago but this was the first out available financially, that’s life in the NFL. Doesn’t matter whether you feel happy or sad or whether you loved him or hated him. Time for the team to move on. And that same decision will be made for every player here.

If it’s a straight release, wouldn’t make sense not to June1 designate him
I’m sure it will be June 1
It’s not like every team that wants him won’t know he’s gonna be availible
Though it would not shock me if no team wants him even at vet min. I like Zeke but right now his only value is a goal line guy and who has the roster spot for a RB just for goal line

What is Dak's excuse then? He looks broken down as well. Well, he was never top notch anyway. At least Zeke was at one point in time.
Your just upset because your used up hero just got punted. Incredible day for me and the Cowboys!!!

Time to celebrate. :oldcouple::oldcouple::dance::dance::yourock::yourock::flagwave::flagwave::flagwave::grin::clap::clap:

You can think you did nothing wrong. But you exposed yourself to this forum as the troll that you are. You posted a play purposely to get a rise out of the group. That is literally the definition of a troll. Why not post his highlight reel and say hey its been real buddy. You've sucked the last couple years but cheers.

Instead. You took the low road. Which is literally your calling card on here because again. You are nothing but a troll.

I like zeke , hes an underrated part of Cowboys history, not sure id use the word sad but its not giving me joy..
I get it. You’re not required to be sad about it I’m just saying a fan shouldn’t be shocked by it. It’s gonna suck to see Dak go at don’t point but will there be some who throw a parade? Of course and I would not be shocked.

Would players be willing to sign with the Cowboys after June 1? That is the question. That 10.9 million could easily sign 2 contributors to this team to fill holes.

I guess that money can be used on draft class and we can use available space right now to sign those players. There might be another restructure (Lawrence) coming down that can give us more $$$, not to mention a rework on Tyrone Smith deal.

Elliot is a 10.8million cap hit if we keep him and if we release him now it would be an 11.8 dead cap hit. So releasing Elliot does not help with signing a players this year. I say keep Elliot one more season
