Signed by Cowboys Cowboys agree to extension with Zeke

[Silver N Blue]

Cowboys signed Ezekiel Elliott to a six-year, $90 million contract extension.
The deal includes a whopping $50 million guaranteed. Zeke's $15 million annually not only surpasses Todd Gurley's previous league-high mark of $14.375 million per year, it officially makes the 24-year-old Cowboys star the league's highest-paid runner and ties him to Dallas through the 2026 season. Archer reports Elliott will be on the field practicing Wednesday, but there's been no word on any limitations or timeshare as he settles back in post-Cabo holdout. Assuming he's good to go for Sunday, Elliott is a clear-cut top-three fantasy option in Dallas' season opener against the Giants.

Zeke and Pollard bout to do damage. Hope Kellen uses them both the right way.

 

[JBS]

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.

Not many..gotta keep him fresh for 8 more years

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”.

5 years into the deal his guarenteed money will be up and he will either be cut or renegotiated. Probably cut

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

No. It says they want to win. Dak will be next. Why turn this into a Dak attack?

 

[Rayman70]

How exactly did he cripple the franchise for the next 10 years. Facts only and not hyperbole speculation.

exactly...actually the opposite is true. Now we can sign other key players.

There not including the 2 years that make it 8 overall

 

[PAPPYDOG]

TALENT GETS PAID!

 

[darthseinfeld]

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

50 guarenteed is the important figure

 

[America's Cowboy]

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.

They already have been production. Open your eyes.

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

Wow more guaranteed that I would have thought. I wonder if there are any suspension clauses against the $50 million.

There better be a clause for douchebaggary in there somewhere!

 

[Rockport]

How?

He’s googling frantically for some obscure justification.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

TALENT gets PAID!!!!

Make us PROUD # 21......

 

[Stash]

The fact is both probably got some of what they wanted and that's the way it should be. People make too much over who won and who lost. In the end the Cowboys won because Zeke is back.

Great perspective! I just hope people read it.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

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

LOL.......LOL......

 

[Loso86]

50 guarenteed is the important figure

over the next what 5 years with the Cap going up almost 10 mil a year. Not including the fact that they probably have some escape clauses the Jones boys may not be the best GMs but there far from dumb when it comes to the salary and dollars

 

[America's Cowboy]

TALENT GETS PAID!

Highest paid talent actually shows up in the playoffs, not chokes!

 

[WillieBeamen]

No. It says they want to win. Dak will be next. Why turn this into a Dak attack?

They caved to Zeke’s demands.

Remember folks on here telling me Zeke had no leverage?

If there was an elite QB here in Dallas, Zeke would still be in Cabo...

They're not going to be able to afford keeping a good supporting cast. Something will have to give - not enough money to keep the O'line, not enough for defense, wide receiving corps, etc. If they don't win a super bowl right now, this season, they won't be able to compete in the future because the money to keep the talent in place won't be there.
