Twitter: Cowboys Make New Offer To Elliott

[Pantone282C]

Why would any owner reward some fool like Zeke for his antics and off the field stupidity? It would send a horrible message to the team. You can be a screw up and hold out 2 with two years left on your deal, I will always cave? Bad business.

They drew a line in the sand with Stephen's comments. They either did it for theatrics, meant it, or just thought out loud in from of the mics.

 

[CowboyRoy]

No other NFL player holds out after three years?

Very few players hold out with 2 years left on their deal. Especially 3 years into a rookie contract. Bell held out after 4 years and then after another year of franchise tag. He was rebelling against the 2nd franchise tag. That I have more sympathy for.

 

[irishline]

He should NOT take it.

The deal has to be at least 10 million OVER TGurleys deal.

The best get paid like the best.

Lol.

I don’t want Zeke paid LESS than some Rams RB.

The best get paid the best.

Besides, Zeke will NEVER sign for less.

Jerry will pay, or Zeke will sit.

Zeke only making 3.8 this season. He can afford to sit .

Hi Zeke. How's Cabo?

 

[32BellyOption]

Cowboys just opened the floodgates by caving in to Zeke's demands due to he holding out. Dumb. Other players are now going to start holding out and demand top pay, even if they have years left on their current contract.

Good luck with that and how such precedent is going to screw up teams' salary caps and much more.

How did they cave in? Zeke wants to be the highest paid and they’re offering a contract which would make him the second highest paid. I’m sure when they made the initial offer they knew they’d have to come back with a better one eventually.

 

[Whirlwin]

Why would you say that Zeke is better than Gurley and Leveon?

Six touchdowns last season, six fumbles would suggest he isn't. I agree

You continue to show a lack of understanding on both the salary cap and how NFL contracts work. I've watched as people have repeatedly tried to help you grasp it and you willfully choose to remain ignorant. It's truly mind boggling.

He’s either trolling, stupid or related to Elliott.

 

[Whirlwin]

Zeke will sit.

Only making 3.8 mill in 19.

Can sit and make the 3.8 up in GTD money next deal.

Zeke has all the leverage.

You realize he only had six touchdowns last season with six fumbles to go with it. Yards mean nothing if they don't produce points

 

[Joe Realist]

All 3 guys about to be overpaid, and it won't win any superbowls.

Imagine you thank the entire NFL is overpaid. Because you can't be serious

Gurley, pre injury was as good a back as you could ever want. More explosive and simply a better RB. Bell as well. These guys were TD monsters. Zeke is more of a pound it, run you over type back. Those other two guys can do that and then some.

 

[Sydla]

Wow. Wouldn't be able to get out from him for FOUR years under this likely circumstance

40MM guaranteed? Yuck.

 

[nightrain]

That's the lynch pin. Take it or leave it, Zeke. Fair offer and if refused, a trade should be immediately pursued.

If that is true then why do so many say Barry Sanders is better than Emmitt?

Zeke had plenty of TDs his rookie year. He has proven he can score running and receiving. Last year the offense as a whole struggled in the redzone so it was not just Zeke.

I like the kid in New York, I think you could be the best back the league has seen in 20 years. I actually like the kid in New England also. Mr. Consistent. I just wish Elliott would get his head on straight because he could be the best ever I don't even put him in the top four

I never said it was just Zeke. But those are the facts not opinion. 6 touchdowns six fumbles Barry vs Emmitt LOL they both had their own style of running the ball. How do you judge better. I look at each one as an individual

Everything I said is factual as well.

Well that's your answer. He doesn't have the mental capacity to be the best. Like how he would rather run over a guy and pick up 3 more yards or juke him and pick up another 30.

Yes that's why I compared him to Earl Campbell. I even though I thought Campbell was a little bit better.

Never said it wasn't my cowboy brother
