One of Jerry's biggest gaffes. How they went from "Our research shows you don't get the return on investment when you sign TBs to big or long term deals" with Murray to "We just made this guy the highest paid TB ever" with Elliott in just a few years was impressive.

good news is that unless he runs for 2k yards, we'll likely be moving on from this contract next year.

$18.2 million

:facepalm:
man.. we've been crying about this on here for like 2 years.

1 more year of his mess and we're done with him too. Don't know what else is writing on the wall for Dak perform or get cut.

I can take something away from this that IS positive... JG wouldn't have let La'el go or even Coop finally we are cleaning house of these overpaid bums.

Don't forget Jerry redid his contract last off season making it financially impossible to waive him this year.

Oh wow, another stupid thread about something that doesn’t matter that has been hashed over and over. And gets nowhere.

It does matter.

It's another example in a garden of examples showing how Jerry and Stephen just don't get it. An $18 million cap hit for not even an elite RB anymore is embarrassing and real roster management screw up. They then doubled down on that screw up by restructuring Elliott last year. They could be out from his contract this year if they hadn't made that mistake.

I know that hurts you to have to hear that.

How much cap savings do we get back when we cut him next off-season?

And you all will be crying for another 3 years about him too, in spite of winning the next 3 SB’s.
It is what you all do.
