Twitter: Elliott Not On Charter Flight To Camp

[Rockport]

If this turns into an actual holdout? Yeah, I would.

Of course you would as you have no idea how Pollard or Weber can do but when has that ever stopped you from making an informed opinion?

 

[JBond]

Of course the man-child punk would pull some stupid crap. Completely expected. We all know his word is crap and he would not honor his contract.

 

[pitt33]

Is anyone really surprised by this?

 

[cowboyblue22]

no I am not the least bit surprised by this greed is going to get all of them before its over

 

[Jarv]

Going to play 18 in a few minutes, I'll check back into the Zeke watch tomorrow morning...lol. Anyone in vacation in Cabo, let me know if you see him...lol

 

[Little Jr]

LeVeon Bell chose to sit, the Steelers didn't "sit his butt down"

Why Did you "" sit his butt down?

 

[RodeoJake]

Drink some PBRs while watching PBS!!!! Salud!!

Drink some professional bull riders? Are we supposed to be vampires?

 

[Tabascocat]

He is probably going to fly up from Cabo or something. Maybe he is already in Oxnard setting up a surprise welcoming ping-pong party

 

[JBond]

What are some good reasons he would not make the flight?

His dog died.
He was too drunk.

Ya'll chime in.

Kidnapped another chick?

Garrett has to be keeping his fingers crossed for a Zeke holdout. He's probably used up all the injury/coordinator free passes, but the holdout of a star player? That's a new one. But no way do I believe he's going to sit.

 

[Sydla]

You have no clue what Zeke is asking for. Maybe he is ok with a contract that benefits both sides. I fully expect this to work itself out with both sides being happy. If I was Zeke, I would do the exact same thing knowing that my career as a RB is limited. And so would you so get over yourself.

It doesn't really matter what he actually wants. He's under contract for two more years. If the team is slow to give him an extension, he needs to show up and not hold out, especially considering how this franchise has backed him despite all his idiotic off the field problems.

Nice........welll played, my man.

You say some of the silliest stuff.

If Elliott holds out, the Cowboys have only three true TBs on the roster - Pollard, Jackson and Weber. Even if Weber and/or Pollard turned out to be good, they'd probably still have to bring in a vet TB or two. And right now ALL THREE are complete unknowns so it would be kind of silly to head into the season with not one proven entity at TB if Elliott holds out.

 

[LittleD]

Better pay him or be prepared to Le'veon Bell his butt and he can sit for the year. It will really hurt us. I hope it isn't so.

If our OL works well together, we can run anyone. Zeke benefits from the OL, not the other way around. If he doesn't want to pay, trade him to the next sucker team and do it quick.

No you say some of the most silliest stuff. A hold out doesn’t necessarily mean during the regular season. And I also said, but I guess you didn’t or can’t read, that I fully expect a deal to be made. But I expect posters like yourself who always are negative Nancy’s to attack me because I out your types.

 

[jwooten15]

What pisses me off is that he still has TWO years on his rookie deal.

Don't like it? Complain to the people who agreed to the CBA. This is getting so out of hand

 

[Aikmaniac]

I never thought I’d relish yesteryear for not having social media. This is too much.

 

[Floatyworm]

Just a random interjection for the day, I read about Adrian Peterson today and I have to wonder if Zeke doesn't have his own financial messes brewing.

Wouldn't shock me...

I'm surprised this hasn't happened to him...

The average career for an NFL RB is 3.3 years. Zeke just finished his 3rd year on a rookie contract. At best, he has 4 great years left and I fully support him for trying to get his now. Negotiations are give and take and the only avenue for Zeke to get his is to hold out of training camp to try and get a contract for the next 4 years.
