Signed by Cowboys Cowboys agree to extension with Zeke

[DallasEast]

What's funny about warning Zeke, some fans are unhappy with him. Do you not think he deserves a fair warning?

You have not warned Elliott. You have expressed your displeasure in writing that has been read by others who are also not Elliott.

Elliott will likely hear some boos when he plays from people he identifies as Cowboys fans. Maybe that will hurt his feelings. Maybe it won't. However, even boos will not warn him of anything.

The remote possibility does exist some nut will warn Elliott in person either passively, which would probably make him laugh like an Ewok, or aggressively. Hopefully law enforcement can then deal with the latter if that type of irrational nonsense should happen.

We are a better team when Zeke is on the field. So, this is good. Sadly, you're probably not going to have the money to resign Heath when his big payday comes due.

 

[darthseinfeld]

This should be at least 5 years with no ridiculous "trade Zeke" threads.

That in and of itself is cause for celebration

 

[Cowboys22]

This looks like a fair deal considering the length of the contract but I have a feeling that Zeke will be pulling the same **** as soon as 4 to 5 years into the deal when he thinks he is “underpaid”.

By then, they will likely be able to cut him and save cap space. He likely won’t be the same player so it will be a no brainer to cut ties. He isn’t seeing years 7 and 8 and probably won’t even see year 6. The deal was stretched out with fake years to lower the yearly cap hits.

 

[Loso86]

You're right but that don't change the fact some pissed of fans are seriously going to be coming for him.

Coming for him how!. With there bug bad comments!?!

 

[Starforever]

Exactly so its really 50 mil over the next 4 or 5 years cause hell get some of that bonus at signing

We already know that some will minimize this contract. Zeke is in camp, all is well.

No.
He needs to factor in the current years remaining plus the new
Zelke is 12.9 million over 8 years
After 4 years, they can release him if the want and save about 50 million. If hes still ballin’ that wont happen, but they do have an out.

 

[zrinkill]

Look at this snowflake yall, check him out

He is just upset because another of his guaranteed predictions did not come true.

JoeKing -"Jaylon will never play again"

JoeKing - "Zeke will not play for the Cowboys again for a long long time"

RisenStar.com is reporting Tony Pollard just boarded a plane for Cabo.

To make me feel better giving a running back 50 mil guaranteed, I am just pretending Pollard is getting 49 and Zeke is getting 1. I feel much better thinking it that way.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I'm not unhappy about the Zeke deal. Understand, my problem is with you calling other fans a punk because they have a different opinion than yours.

When did I post here the word "Punk'?

That's your type of language here.....

 

[Rockport]

You're right but that don't change the fact some pissed of fans are seriously going to be coming for him.

How are they going to be coming for him. Are you advocating for violence? This is the state of a certain segment of this country now.

Fans dont realize that Zekes isnt just top RB hes regarded as top player in the NFL period.. the players know who they are and if they can pull this off.. every RB cant ask for this, every player with 2 years left CANT do this, they would be laughed out of the office..

reality only elite players have leverage..this does NOT set a precedence...owner cave to super stars because they know who butters the bread or in this case stirs the drink lol

Yeah… I definitely agree with this. The Chargers basically laughed at Gordon. The Steelers said bye to Bell.

It was the perfect storm for Zeke… Being a top 1-2 running back in the league, and also being on a team that relies so heavily on the running game. He took advantage of it

 

[Stash]

What are the details of the deal? What are his cap hits and when can the Cowboys cut him with the lowest amount of dead money?

I don't think they're available yet. But if I had to guess? I'd say that the first three years are effectively guaranteed. And the $50 million guaranteed will come from the $13 million he was already due to make, whatever that 3rd year's salary is, his signing bonus, and some amount of dead money that would be tied to years four and beyond.

I would think that would work out to a signing bonus in the low $20 million range.

 

[JoeKing]

Coming for him how!. With there bug bad comments!?!

Yeah, that will teach him.

 

[nobody]

He will help the team as long as he can stay on the field. Let's hope the idiot keeps his nose clean.

 

[DallasEast]

 

[TheGoat73]

Very few will have the leverage that Zeke had, Oh I forgot he had none. lol

I’m not feeling any Zeke love today.

 

[Manster_Mash]

You're right but that don't change the fact some pissed of fans are seriously going to be coming for him.

Well, what are they going to do, take pipe to his knees Harding-style after Jerry just guaranteed him 50 mil? Maybe just stick to booing him please.

 

[Ranching]

That punk better watch his back. He's enraged a lot of Cowboys fans that are just done with him now.

Not the fans that worry about winning and not about another man's money
