Well duh, of course not. However, I'd say if his performance keeps up, at least one franchise tag could be considered a guarantee.
Why should he wait and see if we’ll pay him or tag him?
The salary cap doesn’t prevent you from fielding a Super Bowl team though.
It’s theirs to lose or screw up. I really don’t care but the bigger point is it’s a small segment of NFL players. Not nearly as many who come from these backgrounds.
The Cowboys released Hurns. That honored his deal?
For some reason, you are taking a post out of context!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely. They are required to pay the guaranteed portion, and they did.
I’d agree. Sorry I just saw your response. Surely they wouldn’t pay 20 million. Hopefully closer to 15.
Yep and the media only talk about the ones that go broke because it’s hard to believe a person with so much can loose it all.
He was offered 5 million less....was he suppose to accept that? That’s crap. Look it’s a business. I get that’s how it works. It made sense to ask him to take a cut. But the players deserve the same respect to do whatever they can to get as much money as they can especially with how crappy running backs get paid. It’s not Zekes fault that the players union sucks.
That’s why they get a signing bonus, gets a large portion of the guaranteed paid out. So if this things don’t pan out then they can move on. When these players get the contract they are after guaranteed money. Ya know you can make a contract look as good as you want. You could pay Elliot 20 million per year for 5 years at 100 million but if he is only guaranteed 25 of it and they give him a 20 million dollar signing bonus then they only owe him 5 more. Likey that 5 will be paid out his first year of the contract.
It’s easy to see how they could lose it. Same way normal people lose it living beyond their means. Just on a smaller scale. 40% of Americans have less than $500 in savings basically a missed paycheck from being on the streets.
No doubt but to me the real discussion isn’t about money, etc but the effects to the team, our offense and QB if he sits out this year.
In order for this Offense to be effective we need a running game. Elliot provides a nightmare for opposing defenses. But also so does our O-Line, the trenches is where it starts. If they stay healthy then we can get another RB to give us 100 yard games. We could call up a vet like Morris. Maybe Pollard or Weber can step up. I am sure that the FO is hoping for that. Just not sure if another RB would make other teams have to scheme to stop him. Need to get teams to not just stack the line. Without Elliot this season will be much more difficult.
Take away the roughly 40 million who are classified as poor & I wonder how many of that 40% are single & still pretty young.
Not sure. That's most likely completely dependent on the two rooks. Can EZ afford to take that chance?
I think the players just negotiated around or over 50% of the revenue. Why is that so unfair?Most reasonable people would agree that employees deserve compensation relative to the income generated by their employer, seeing as how the employees play a key role in that income generation. Nowhere is that truer than pro sports, yet many fans turn into this guy when someone wants paid:
I can't wait to see social media if the players strike, as they did twice in the 1980s. The reactions will rival any game in terms of entertainment.
If he sits out, a ton of questions will be answered. Weber is very underrated, and it's possible Moore will run an O that doesn't require a bell cow. Since none of us have any idea what Moore is as an OC, it's all question marks.
