Twitter: Cowboys create cap room with Zeke's contract

[Whirlwin]

Ya weren't you the member who predicted the covid outbreak hence the reduced cap?
Do you have any tips on the Stock market bud?

Yes invest in Apple.

I look at the fact that is 2022 the combination of Dak, Zeke, and Cooper account for a total cap hit of $73.4M (dead money of $108.88M).......that is one hell of a cap hit for 3 players.

And they are trying to sell the fact that these 3 players are going to take us to the Superbowl.
Now that is Jerry humor at its finest!!!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

It's nearly $5-6MM more in dead money you have to take if you do want to cut him 2023.

That's nothing.

 

[Whirlwin]

That's nothing.

And the overall picture, it actually is nothing

They have a good as a shot as anybody else if we have a supporting cast

LOL.......3 letters .....C.....A......P

Ezekiel Elliott is about the last guy I'd ever defend, but strange how no one freaked when the team did the same exact thing with walking MASH unit Collins a few months ago.

We have never had a cab issue since the beginning of the cap. fan seems to think there’s an issue. The franchise always finds a way around it. Too many mathematicians on the payroll. Stop worrying about it it’s a non-issue

Its insulting to anyone who actually is a Cowboy or football fan.

Why? Because someone has a different opinion about a player.
‘Actual Cowboy or football fan?’ - Be hilarious to hear your definition of this. I could use a good laugh at your expense.

No, not because they have a different opinion. Have all the opinions you want it doesn't make it any more silly. Its just a silly opinion. Pollard hasn't even gotten enough playing time to even say he's better than Zeke lol. The opinion is derived from Pollard having a few big runs on his resume.

 

[Stash]

They probably have and know that doing it again may keep him here longer than they would like.

I dunno here....I can't stand Jerry beyond belief, and Elliott and his antics are right behind him.

I take shots whenever possible, but I don't see this as a move they shouldn't have made.

6.8 now is better than 5.1 spread over two years two years down the road.

If it all kept Elliott here a minute longer than otherwise, then I'm against it....but I don't think that's the case.

I’m seeing things the same way that you are.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Yep you are son idiot also

Your post reminds me of the time I got pulled over for speeding when others were going faster than me. Nothing one can do but shake one’s head at the police.

Whatever you say. I guess we don’t get your definition of an ‘actual Cowboy or football fan.’ Too bad. I needed a good laugh.

Looks like Zeke gonna be eligible for SS by the time he is off the cowboys payroll.

Does it materially change anything with Zeke?

Zeke's salary next year was already guaranteed, and unlike Jaylon, he's still worth having on the field. He wasn't going anywhere.

I think the story is more about why they're clearing cap space for this year than Zeke. Why?

Making cap room to drop Jaylon?

This guy best be lying.

 

[AKATheRake]

I'll be the first to say it, Gino Atkins

I hope so.. Around $6 million a year looks right to me. We cleared $8.6 million.

2 years $6 to $8 million each, I'm ok to do with Geno.

Well for starters in order to be a actual Cowboy or football fan you need commons sense.

 

[Jarntt]

It doesn’t change the ability to get out in any significant way

Really? You don't think $12M in dead money significantly change the thought process on keeping a guy an additional year or not? Sounds like the decision has already been made with this restructure

Not me. No way I'm giving him that much at this point

I'll even ask Malik to find him a Hooker to christen the deal.
