If Zeke refuses to show up

[Cwby41]

Who here would even want him back by the 10th game of the season. At this point its over 20 yrs since our last SB i dont care if I have to keep waiting but Im to a point I want guys on this team other than the Zeke, AB and Odells of the world. I really dont want to see the team pay him more than 2nd highest in league and if the latest rumors are true let him sit out and don't look back.
If he rejoins the team at game 10 just to get accrued year in, who wants him. If we are winning without him I would take my chances and if our season went to **** who needs to win more games and hurt our draft order. He will have a year off and should get us at least a 1 and a 3rd. Just send him to Cincy or Miami or some place where he can win 3 games a year behind a garbage line. Tired of this guy even if we do sign him. Remember the old saying, when someone shows you who they are believe them!!
And for all you blaming the FO for not giving him what he wants, he has 2 years left on contract, sit out next year and I could understand but not this year.

Zeke is a habitual line stepper.
That is all.

If he were to sit out until game 10 I wouldn’t want him back, but right now I do. He’s a key part of this team.

Is that a new western dance?

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I do agree if this isn't settled by week 10 it's time to move on. Still not going to get much for him in a trade.

On one hand it’s easy to say “no I wouldn’t” because of his actions hurting the team. But on the other hand I’m sure a fresh zeke at week 10 and into the playoffs would be a big boost to the team.

He has lost this yr already by not reporting on August 6th...it is not significant because he has the option yr already locked in that would count for his fourth yr thus making him a free agent!!

If we are winning early he will comeback, with or without a new contract.

Zeke signs before the season. What we're getting bits and pieces of from the media now is the last-ditch attempts by Zeke to get more cash and the last ditch attempts by the Cowboys to save some.

They'll come to an agreement, because I'm almost certain Zeke doesn't want to miss games and the Cowboys don't want him to, either.

 

[foofighters]

If Zeke doesn't show up to play on week 1, it is going to hurt him more than the team. No one will pay him what he thinks he's supposed to get. I believe we need to pay him but I also believe that he needs to show up and work with the team. The team has nothing to do with his pay and it's that relationship that he's hurting the most. He needs to think about how important the team is to him. He can still take his shots at Jerry. I don't know...it's just frustrating.

If this team is playing well........ sure he can come back but have fun splitting carries with the other backs

 

[AbeBeta]

Y'all are funny.

Who wouldn't want the league's best RB back?

 

[GenoT]

I still think Zeke’ll get signed...but if not, then it’s next man up and full-speed ahead!

Go Cowboys!

This a Zeke thread, not Barkley.

 

[Whirlwin]

The latest news, Elliott wants to be the highest paid running back. So they're going to take away guaranteed money and put it onto a salary so it sounds like he's the highest paid running back. Deal will get done

 

[CT Dal Fan]

This a Zeke thread, not Barkley.

Barkley is electricfying, but he's very inconsistent.

Take last year's finale against the Cowboys. He ran for 109 yards on 17 carries, and everybody thinks he got 6.4 yards per carry. But he really had only two runs of consequence- a 68 and 26 yarder.

That means the rest of the game Barkley had 15 yards on 15 carries. I'd rather have Zeke, who gives you four, five, seven, three, four, ten yards consistently and wears a defense down.

I don't know how you can say he's inconsistent. I totally believe he's the best running back in the entire NFL. Things I've seen him do already are simply amazing. Longevity alone it doesn't take that hit. But to each their own my cowboy brother

i mostly agree.
i hope he holds out or we trade him for a more critical position.
