Twitter: Elliott says team is better with Tony Pollard on the field

[J12B]

It's true and Zeke is extremely humble to say this.

Zeke is definitely a leader on this team.

 

[Avery]

Zeke’s growth as a person and leader has been great to see. Nobody wants to cut him next year, but this is the way.

 

[J12B]

Great teammate.

 

[HungryLion]

He’s not doing his agent any favors when the cowboys ask him to take a paycut this offseason. That’s for sure.

 

[goshann]

He said ‘get his touches’ not better than himself
But zeke is a great leader and teammate
Jerry will make all efforts to keep him for a new salary

 

[AtomicDog]

A.....duh but Zeke playing better lately

Maybe he's being realistic. TBH it would be good to keep the duo together, financials permitting, of course.

Re-do Zeke for 2/10 mil and Pollard for 3/18 mil?

Pollard is more like 10m

Zeke taking 5 million a year to be LeGarrette Blount basically... I wouldn't be against it. But we've got to stop throwing to him unless he's literally uncovered. He's not going to make anyone miss in the receiving game.

Pollard being the lead back for only 6M/year is kind of not likely to happen either.

Exactly. Pollard is basically Aaron Jones from Green Bay. Dual threat and lightning fast at both.

I hope Zeke does accept a paycut so they can keep pollard. Being realistic Zeke needs to accept a paycut or he has to be cut in the off-season. So I hope he chooses the former.

Honestly believe he wants to retire here and knows he’s gonna have to take a paycut

Pollard gets a deal similar to Ekeler, IMO. Maybe a bit more given the cap increase, but not 10 million per year.

Pollard will get franchised

 

[RS12]

Pollard is the key player/ playmaker on this offense. Every time he touched the ball tonight he averaged 7.5 yards. That's invaluable.

 

[Risen Star]

Pollard will get franchised

I would. I would not let him leave.

But he’s selfish. I heard it here

Lmaaaook!

RB franchise tag is projected to be 9.5 million in 2023.


Pollard is worth every penny.

Definitely. You let Schultz walk and shift that money over to Pollard. Hopefully release Zeke.
