Ezekiel Elliott real contract numbers

[QuincyCarterEra]

WAIT $63M guaranteed instead of $50M!?!?

WHO THE HELL CAN POSSIBLY THINK THIS IS ANYTHING BUT AN AWFUL CONTRACT!?!?!?!

"We can cut him after five years with no hit". Yeah the same with every single ****ing contract in the NFL, but most are 2-3 years max. Yet that's being celebrated? Jesus.

 

[Direwolf63]

I don't buy the $63M guaranteed.

 

[Sydla]

That 63MM has to be wrong

Beat you by mere seconds.

 

[Sydla]

Beat you by mere seconds.

Unless they are giving him 50MM guaranteed beyond the 13MM that was due for the next two years under his old deal.

 

[G2]

It's 50 guaranteed.

 

[GoJacks]

Beat you by mere seconds.

It's the 13M from the original contract and the additional 50M from the extension.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Unless they are giving him 50MM guaranteed beyond the 13MM that was due for the next two years under his old deal.

So that was new money guarantees of $50M....
Holy **** we are the dumbest team in the league.

I'm logging off.

Insane.

We are a dumb franchise.

$50 million was the extension that starts in 2 years. $13 million is still left over from his rookie contract and runs 2 more years. So it's basically 5 years for $63 million contract. It's a brilliant contract. The CBA runs out in 2 years and the salary cap is expected to rise. The big money for Zeke's contract, Collins contract and Jaylon's contract all start in 2 years when the salary cap is higher. It was a brilliant off-season for the Cowboys signing all these extensions.

It’s not brilliant.

You just handed a TB 63MM guaranteed when the highest to date was 45MM guaranteed.

Not afraid to say I go back to the days of Dandy Don & Bob Hayes am a Vietnam Vet who still plays golf & just turned 70 ! Still love the Cowboys all these years later !

Appreciate your service, Thank you

You all are probably the greatest generation over.

It's a moronic contract.

The SBA argument exploding has got to be the worst one on here.
*signs Dak for $50M a year*. "But the CBA is going to explode". THAT DOESNT MAKE IT ANY BETTER OF A CONTRACT

Spotrac has him at 50mils guaranteed.

I believe them more than any of those twitter kiddies.

The best RB in football is averaging $12.6 million per year over the next 5 years. It's the perfect deal for both sides. Keeps our young core together for the next 5 years.

Not really, it's in our favor moving forward.

 

[snadler]

Does this move hurt the boys flexibility moving forward? Probably not..is it our money..nope.do rb’s get this kind of money nope..but if the boys are trying to win a super bowl then they need Zeke, and if they win a super bowl nobody is going to care much 2-3 years from now..there are pros and cons to this deal, but for the time being Zeke is back and this team has a legit shot at the super bowl

 

[Cowboys1fan]

Has anyone seen details yet? How many years before we could get out of it etc? Just wondering bc we’ve been doing a really good job with recent contracts structuring
