News: Elliott Signs Contract

[DallasEast]

Agreed.

And the next "best thing" they do will be to realize that the game needs a true minor league system and finally do it right.

Amen.

 

[speedkilz88]

One of the best things ever negotiated between the owners and players was the rookie compensation system ratified in the last CBA.

And it's not like they are getting cheap deals at over 6 million a year.

$24.9M fully guaranteed over 4 years. $16.3M signing bonus

And to think the Cowboys less than a year earlier sqwaked @ paying Murray this kind of money.

If the Cowboys could have worked out a deal w/ Murray...then they wouldn't have been forced to burn a high draft choice on a RB

Sounds like an expensive way to learn a lesson

[Bowdown27]

younger and more complete back who never has fumbled. seems like a no brainer if elliott is consistent in nfl how he was in college

[Nightman]

We usually don't show enough cap space to sign these guys until June 1st or later

Re-doing Carr cleared almost enough room to sign the whole class

Murray wanted to much money and isn't even in the conversation with Elliott. 2 different backs

[GimmeTheBall!]

Now he can buy a proper croptop from a top-rate fashion designer.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Zeke is better than Murray rip sheet.

 

[Hardline]

I wonder what it feels like to have a 16.3 million dollar signature?

 

[TX_Yid]

Agreed.

YES PLEASE. Minor league football in the off season so I don't have to watch the Blue Jays vs. White Sox. YAWN

 

[Toruk_Makto]

25M guaranteed for a RB.

Yikes.

Except this is being paid to a far better prospect who has been nothing but healthy... Oh and he is 21 not on the wrong side of his 20's...

 

[Stash]

25M guaranteed for a RB.

Yikes.

No kidding!

This Cowboys rushing attack had better take the league by storm and be the next big thing to justify the investments made in it.

I'm hoping that we're starting a new league trend rather than trying to imitate what someone else is doing.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

I am on the EE Train,,,,

But the guy hasn't played a down in the NFL yet....

Murray broke records, Like all time singlr season rushing record....in the history of the Dallas Cowboys!!!!....He was proven. But hey, that's just not going to cut it.
You see this and that, and the experts and pundits, they all say this. ummmhummm.

But hey "Well be fine at RB, its an overvalued position and with this line, Charlie chicken face could run behind it.....", "Besides, it has nothing to do with the RB position, its all about Passing Efficiency"....

If we had Murray, maybe we get Ramsey?

I don't know.,.. Expensive mistake indeed.....But at least they addressed it, And because they did address it, I am thinking playoffs...

 

[phildadon86]

Murray got less guaranteed money than Elliott did.

Also had a lot more wear and tear

 

[adamknite]

Are you trying to tell me NFL Europe wasn't fantastic?
