Twitter: Jerry regarding Zeke on 105: We'll see how today and tomorrow goes

[IndianaCowboys1994]

Shannon Sharpe reporting this is a mega deal (7 years). He believes Zeke will play Sunday. Interesting. Sometimes guys like this are in the know.

"fresh and ready to go *immediately" yeah right Elliott ALWAYS took a few games to get into playing shape. No chance he is in shape right now.

7 years?

LOL.

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

7 years?

LOL.

Yeah but I went back and watched it...he is including 2019 and 2020. The headline was wrong on twitter.

 

[Batman1980]

The guys on 105.3 asked him about a fan sentiment that the Cowboys are messing around over a few million dollars and we need our best player on the field.

Jerry's answer: "I ain't messing around."

Still not sure Zeke is our best player, there's many really good players on this team.

Doesn't really change anything............ we now have a TB on a 7 year contract starting now. That's insane.

Those last 3 years better be throw away years.

I'm pretty sure Leveon Bell has shown up and gone off straight away without practice.

Zeke will be fine if he has to play and i'm ok with him not getting 20 carries for awhile. Pollard is ready to go.

 

[Ranching]

I think if you got Zeke in a room with Jerry alone a deal would be done in 5 minutes

And Zeke would give him 20 million back. Lol
..

 

[CATCH17]

7 years?

LOL.

It would probably just be an extension to his current deal.

7 years from now is insane. As I said, it better have a lot of throw away years.

I think that is what Dallas wants and obviously what Zeke does not want. Hence the back and forth negotiating.

 

[BourbonBalz]

What the huh?

We are just repeating the mistakes of the past when we disproportionately spent on the offense and were left to skimp on the defense.

D. Lawerence and J. Smith say hi!

Not a bad idea as long as there's an out every three years. This helps if Barkley blows up the market and Zeke wanna renegotiate after 3-4 years.

7 years?

LOL.

Years don’t matter I want to know how much money is guaranteed.

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

Years don’t matter I want to know how much money is guaranteed.

Starting to think at least 50 million.

Would that mean a 5-year extension on top of the two he has remaining on his deal?

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

Schefty reports that La'el's extension creates 5.7 million in cap space this season for Dallas. It helps with front-loading.

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

That is correct. Headline was a bit misleading.

 

[CATCH17]

It will i'm sure.

This contract was always going to be built in a way that Dallas can get away from the contract. I'm sure there is a lot of knucklehead insurance in it.

If Elliott and Dak and Cooper all sign, which is what Jerry wants, the Cowboys will have 7 of their 10 largest contracts on the offensive side of the ball:

Collins
Martin
Smith
Frederick
Elliott
Cooper
Dak
