Did you guys not see @Risen Star broke this news which was 2 layers deep before you started this thread?

No big deal, it will get merged before you know it.

Greedy pile of crap better put up historical numbers. 2,500 yards and 35 TD's. And bring a super bowl.

And now we'll get to see holdouts by Dak and Cooper. Its coming....... Way to have some balls, Jerry.

Neither of the other two are too 2 at their position like zeke is. They want to get crazy money.... produce like zeke. If not bye.

Where is this at?

Gurley got $14.3m/yr and that gets Zeke $15m/yr. The real question is what is guaranteed vs what is on paper that he will never see. Gurley got $45m in guaranteed money. Let's hope the Cowboys have some out clauses in case he can't go for whatever reasons.

By the way Stephen....you were wrong.....you did set this market! https://www.latimes.com/sports/stor...ys-ezekiel-elliott-contract-stephen-jones-nfl

ok. Looking at articles it looks like we really broke the bank for him. Why wait until the last minute to just give him everything that he wanted?

"Ian Rapoport and Jane Slater of NFL Network reported the news, noting "roughly half" of the deal is guaranteed. Elliott's full deal is $103 million over eight years, per Rapoport and Slater and makes him the highest-paid RB in the NFL." https://bleacherreport.com/articles...-year-90m-cowboys-contract-is-highest-paid-rb

How do you not get that qb and rb money are two separate animals? The best RB is never gonna make as much as an average QB. Dak will get much mire than Zeke. That's just how the NFL works.

The point is, they wanted Zeke to take less so they can overpay this average Quarterback. I said nothing about Zeke making as much as Dak.

 

[Rayman70]

technically, he was already signed. Not gonna beat that dead horse...

 

[Fire407]

It looks like Jerry reset the market which Stephen said wouldn’t happen. Glad to see Zeke back but obviously Jerry caved.

I think Shefter is the best in the biz, his reporting is always legit.

IP on the other hand says some weird stuff sometimes....



I swear Demarcus Lawrence was the first Cowboy to 100m$

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

You wonder how many touches he'll get on Sunday. He's not in football shape. He can't be. Any player would tell you that.

Probably not in football shape, but it's still good to get this nonsense out of the way, so we can move on to the next nonsense.

 

[Rayman70]

All Zeke cares about.....

more like David Lee Roth doing the floss lmao

 

[Loso86]

You guys realize that it LOOKS worse then it is. His actual salary per year is like 12.9 NOT 15 its 103 over 8 years people they didnt really set the market so chill with your grow a pair comments. Both the Team and Zeke won.

 

[WillieBeamen]

I dont care what anyone says



Them paying Zeke this amount of money says a lot of what they think about Dak and his ability to carry this team without him

 

[Legendz82]

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”.

It looks like Jerry reset the market which Stephen said wouldn’t happen. Glad to see Zeke back but obviously Jerry caved.

Stephen also said Gurley is the starting point.

Stephen probably should never get handed a microphone

 

[Rayman70]

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 know..I was kidding. We need to utilize Pollard too. I don't wanna see Zeke get hurt or get worn down.

 

[Loso86]

He's just crippled franchise for maybe the next 10 years and you like him?

How?

 

[Rayman70]

Length of the contract helps Dallas. We can spread this out. Allows us to sign other players.

 

[Loso86]

Is it really reset eith an average of 12.9 mil a year?.

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

The point is, they wanted Zeke to take less so they can overpay this average Quarterback. I said nothing about Zeke making as much as Dak.

True, but the salary cap is going up every year. Zeke won't be the highest paid RB in a couple if years. Fair deal fir both sides. Either way I'm glad he is back...now feed Zeke
