Does anyone feel bad for Zeke?

Not really, he had a good career, nearly 12k yards from scrimmage, 88 tds, and made a boat load of money the 2nd most for an RB in NFL history.

Plus he had some team options to sign with and chose the Chargers, which I think most didn't expect to advance very far.
Thanks for the much nicer response than I've been reading throughout this thread. We have some bitter, bitter fans.

I hold no animosity toward Elliott. He gave us some good years, but his body didn't hold up to the beating. I don't worry about how much money a player makes or whether they are perceived as working as hard as other players.

Great running back for us years ago, came back to us this past off season, didn't help much, asked to be released and signed with the playoff Chargers. The Chargers are now out of the playoffs, do you feel bad??? We wish you well in the off season zeke!

No. He had a good career. Wasn't a complete bust, led the league in rushing a couple times. Not a HOF but had 4-5 good/great years in the league and got a contract he, honestly, wouldn't have gotten anywhere but with us.

He's set for life. If it's too much of a burden for him, he can always send me that football money to relieve him of such a thing.

More than great. 3rd RB in team history.

We all know these athletes have a limited shelf life. RBs even more so. I was sad to see Zeke slowing down 5 years ago. Today, I just wish him luck with whatever he does.

Is Zeke lazy, or just a victim of bad genes? I don't know. But he was really good at one time. I still would not have drafted him where Dallas did.
