Signed by Cowboys Cowboys agree to extension with Zeke

[Whirlwin]

This was Ezekiel's ideal summer. No work. Get his deal the week of the opener.

Yeah I don't call running on a beach work either.

 

[JoeKing]

I fixed it for you.

Thank you... but I officially did not say that.

 

[Doc50]

Actually, he won’t be toting the rock 40 times a game. You’re going to see less running and more passing. They have to protect Zeke which is good for the offense as it will become more varied with Moore at the helm.

I think you're right about that; makes the most sense.

 

[DallasEast]

There you go, good job.

Thanks. Please reciprocate but only if you are willing.

 

[DogFace]

That's stupid. That's like saying talking about cancer causes it. Whether I share that opinion or not, those feelings are out there.

No. It’s actually not like that at all.

You can’t encourage cancer cells. You can encourage moron cells.

 

[Beaker42]

If I wasn't here you guys might never know.

Whoa, big fella. Easy boy.

 

[JoeKing]

Thanks. Please reciprocate but only if you are willing.

you betcha

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

Was Marshall Faulk with him?

So it seems to me that he got the guarantee of 50 mill but is still playing for 3 mill this year and 9 mill next year. So the average of 12.875 is real and the 15/yr average does not start til 2021.

Highest paid, but not really. Seems quite fair to me given the hold out after year 3. I think we made a good deal!

50MM guaranteed for a TB is absurd.

The Cowboys caved. Jerry is no master negotiator and now I cringe thinking what they will cave and give to Dak.

1. He hasnt had a losing season due to his good supporting cast

2. Zeke being better than Gordon is not the point. The point is Gordon is a good player that they believe they can win without because they have an elite QB

3. The point is Philip Rivers doesnt turn into garbage when Melvin Gordon misses games

4. Dak blowing up to you guys is a 180 yd 1td 1 rushing td game. LOL

So just so I am clear. Dak wins only because of a good supporting cast. Every other QB in the NFL wins because they are great? Is that what you are trying to say? Dak was amazing the second half of the season last year. Lets be real clear. You have an agenda. It doesnt make sense but you are sticking to it because you blame Dak for Dez being off this team. Everyone here knows it. Carson Wentz was horrible year one. Year 2 he had, whats it called again. Oh yes. A GOOD SUPPORTING CAST and he was an MVP candidate. Every winning QB has a good supporting cast! But according to you only Dak wins because of it? Right.

 

[DallasEast]

My head is all aflutter with the thought of Zeke running with the ball and barrelling over grown football men in different uniforms.

It will be glorious.

 

[dckid]

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.

Thanks stasheroo. I hope we are not putting ourselves in bad shape going forward with the deal being back loaded.
I guess you are going to be right about Dak... when we pay him 40 million plus per year avg.

 

[JoeKing]

No. It’s actually not like that at all.

You can’t encourage cancer cells. You can encourage moron cells.

You are doing your damnedest to miss the point. Those misgivings are out there about Zeke whether I talk about them or not.

 

[dogunwo]

Greedy pile of crap better put up historical numbers.

That's a bit aggressive

 

[DogFace]

You are doing your damnedest to miss the point. Those misgivings are out there about Zeke whether I talk about them or not.

Ok. My mistake.

 

[tyke1doe]

I told ja all that worrying was for naught.
Zeke was just resting his body. He didn't need to endure training camp.
He's now richer and ready to play.
Yawn!

 

[TWOK11]

Oh please. Anyone who thinks it wasn’t possible he might miss a game or two is being ridiculous.

I’m laughing at you, not with you

50MM guaranteed for a TB is absurd.

Hes not just a TB hes this teams BEST player
