At what point does Jerry start fining Zeke?

[lukin2006]

He should be fined as much as the collective agreement allows for. But he should be moved to another team. Every offseason there is something with this clown. Find a sucker and move Zeke before he gets suspended indefinitely.

 

[JoeKing]

Source? I looked and I can’t find anything that says he has been fined, only that he can be. Or is it automatic?

It's at the prerogative of the GM and will be assessed at the time Zeke caves and rejoins the team or a new contract is agreed on.

Yeah. That's how you work out a long term deal.

Three years leading the league in rushing yards per game. Would have led the league in rushing 3 years straight if he didn't have what just about everyone believes was a nonsense suspension.

But yeah. Let's hammer him with fines and screw ourselves.

 

[Melonfeud]

A daily fine could get Zeke's attention.
Yet, blokes, it would strain the already strained relations between Jerry, who feels betrayed, and Zeke who feels underappreciated, financially.

I believe Jerry, at some point, will either warn of fines or actually begin the financial sanctions on Zeke.
But, I believe, it would only take place after 2 weeks of Zeke's absence.

Eeek! $40,000 in fines per day plus a prorated sum of Zeke's signing bonus and other sanctions?

Fans, are fines a mistake for Zeke?
Or an effective tool on someone not abiding by a contract?
Chime in. Tea and biscuits for all as we discuss.

Fines are the #1 reason that keeps every
" Joe $*** the rag-man" player from pulling a #21

 

[Melonfeud]

He's already been fined about $280,000. Another $226,000 out he misses the first preseason game.

But they usually waive those when a contract get signed.

I wouldn't wavier them, cuz' I wouldn't be strong armed into playing along in this idiotic premature extortion scheme in the first place.

 

[Melonfeud]

He's paid fines, or they're just tallying on a spreadsheet somewhere?

*it's my understanding the accrued amount is deducted from future earnings, but my whole understanding column is a bit shaky & leans at an unplumb angle on any given day concercerning any given subject,,,er,,,mind you

I am not talking to you. The Ukrainian super model says she charges $8 for every sexy email.
Mum was right. You are not to be befriended.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

As far as I'm concerned...he's already 240,000 in the hole.

Shuppup.
Ginger never called me. You said she liked me.

 

[Seven]

It's fairly obvious some folks here have never actually managed employees. If you did, they probably hated you and did as little as possible.

Sure, fine the heck out of him. Create animosity. If that compels him to show up, what kind of employee do you think you'll get? You'll get one who can't get out of town soon enough. He'll either create so much drama it forces a trade or it just distracts the team and it underachieves. You'll hate him more than ever, and the Cowboys won't win anything.

But yeah, "show him you mean business"...good luck with that. As opposed to, you know, negotiating and looking to resolve the matter amicably.

You're a horrible manager.

Dont hold your breath waiting for a coherent answer from a guy called Joking.
Believe me, oaf, if Jerry started fining it would be big news. At this point, jerry has the option of a retrofine or forgiving it.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Yeah. That's how you work out a long term deal.

No, instead let this man child screw us and our salary cap and our future.
2 years from now, Zeke might be a trivia question.

Zeke is not as great as he thinks!

Comparing people that make make $25-$75 an hour to a guy that signed a $25 million contract is asinine.

 

[cern]

Fines are typically dropped after deals are finalized so players don't worry about them. Perhaps it's time they be made to worry.

Right you are, govnor!
Fines? Dont make me laugh, says the jock. They will be forgiven!
So ... why have fines if no believes they will be levied?
NFL needs to enforce fines startling with the first day of camp.
Otherwise the "fines" are toothless.

Yer' MuM "was" a sage matron in the fine arts of wizened tutelage to those of congenita,,,,,,er,,,and with that, I'll leave you tingling on the precipice's edge of bafflement in the forever quandary of piqued wonderment,,,na-na,nau,, na

Yeah, lout, but me mum always thought you were an idiot savant and thus ignored you unless we visited the Indian casino.
And where is her jello tuppereware mold? I need it for the community potluck in Carrollton.

*Oh-ya! Well yer' mum's discounted price listing on turquoise &silver doo-dads, sand paintings & those wig-wam sexually levitating refresher courses I'd perviously proffered unto her are hereby rescinded, until she,,, she pays off her account balance,,, er,,,and unfortunately, that mule of mine won't let me near that stupid jello mold,,,odd but true,,, strange

 

[aria]

Pay him. Belicheck pays his best players contrary to bs narratives. He never had a great rb in his prime or a great wr in his prime. He had a great tight end and paid him.

Yeah, because he’s too smart to pay a RB “in his prime”. The most expendable position in football.

 

[glimmerman]

I think the FO is still playing nice. They will get a deal done. We will run the wheels off of him and Elliot knows this. I think it’s poor form for Elliot to do this after only 3 years.

 

[stilltheguru]

Yeah, because he’s too smart to pay a RB “in his prime”. The most expendable position in football.

But he’ll pay a tight end too money. Ok
