It sets the wrong precedent. What if LVE holds out next year for top league positional pay, even though he will still be under contract for several years? Will you be ok with that? What if other players start holding out early and demanding similar compensation since the Cowboys suddenly did it for Zeke? Will you be ok with that?
It's never Dak's fault, his poor yardage passing and low point offense leadership doesn't count for those 8 games, "it's not Dak's fault" once you understand that you will know AC's answer to anything Dak related.
That was Emmitt's last year under contract. Zeke still has 2 years left. Not hard to understand. Pay Zeke now, others will soon start demanding new contract and top pay with years still left on their current one. If the Jones don't give in, those players will hold out. You ok with that?
When it mattered most... Marinelli's D failed. Badly. So did Zeke.
That 4th down run was dumb. I don’t know whether to blame Linehan for running him into the middle or if Elliot chose to. Had it been broke to the outside or Dak kept it we would have had it.
Emmitt wasn't under contract
I was just discussing this with someone on this site. Some sites show he was still under contract. He was not. You can find quotes from Emmitts agent talking about how he was a restricted FA but nobody offered Emmitt anything because they knew the Cowboys would match any offer. Back then there was no FA like there is today.
Your right. Even JJ said it was a odd situation with the cap starting and figuring things out and ES didn’t have a contract and was likely wanting a big contract. He deserved it. He could probly still run behind this line.
Once again, Emmitt held out during his last year under contract as many others have. Zeke's is totally different because he still has 2 more years left. By Jerry giving in, it sends the message that it's ok for others to start doing the same.
You're funny.
Reports are to be the highest paid running back
I'm right. Call me funny all you want but I state facts.
