Zeke is getting probably $22m guaranteed and at least $60m over at least 4 years.
Even considering anything else is pretty silly, at this point. It's just a matter of when he gets it. The longer the Cowboys wait, the more the price goes up.
So all a guy has to do is hold out and you will pay him anything he wants? Not any kind of way to run a franchise.
Hes got two years left on his contract and hes in his prime. His value will never be greater. If he is truly going to miss games, then let him. Trade him when you can get a windfall.
Zeke actually has little leverage. He has two years left on his rookie deal and then two years of franchising. By then it would be year #7 and he will be toast. Go out and get another quality back in next years draft.
