What do you really expect to get for him? You rarely get back big hauls in the NFL trading market. We will never ever see another Herschel Walker type trade. Zeke means everything to this offense. The goal is to win now. You go all out and win now. Like the Rams and Eagles did. Both got to Super Bowls. This isn't the MLB where it can take half a decade to build a team. Eagles went from last to first. Rams did the same. You don't sacrifice an elite player for draft picks on a RB who may or may not be good in the draft. We know right now what Zeke is. We picked him 4th overall. To trade him would be irresponsible and a waste of a pick and shows this team has no real direction.
Zeke is eventually going to get paid. So is Dak and Amari. What does it really matter when it is? You can always make the money work. Always. Eagles and Rams proved that.
Yeah, and who did the Rams and Eagles have for a RB? I’m sure the Rams fans were crying that their season was over when Gurley went down and who carried them to the Super Bowl and ran all over us? A guy by the name of CJ Anderson who basically became a journeyman and was released by the Panthers, signed by the Raiders then waived by the Raiders a week later and finally picked up by the Rams a week after that.
What about the Eagles? Who was their running back? Was it a leading rusher? Nope. It was a guy they traded for a 4th round pick. Neither team needed an overpaid schmuck like Zeke to get to the Super Bowl.
When was the last time a leading rusher won a Super Bowl? I’ll give you a hint, it hasn’t happened in this century. If Moore is even a half way decent OC, we shouldn’t need to be so reliant on Zeke. Remember the Giants game? We spread the ball around more and kept the defense guessing. As a result we had one of our best offensive performances of the year while the knucklehead diva was standing on the sideline probably thinking of how much money he planned on sitting out for this year.
I think we could get a late first rounder for Zeke and draft another RB next year, we’ll still have a great O line for a few more years barring any major injuries.
I like how you completely ignore the cap as if money will never be an issue. Do you have any recollection of the the salary cap hell we were recently in? Remember not being able to afford needed FA’s or even paying our own guys? If we hadn’t drafted well we would still be suffering from those years.
Unfortunately, you’re probably right, Zeke will eventually get paid and you better hope it pays off within the next couple of years because eventually we won’t have the money to pay our defense. There’s no doubt the Cowboys are better with Zeke but that doesn’t mean he’s worth it and that we can’t succeed without him.
