Jerry wants to keep Zeke

[LatinMind]

Again, do you know how television contracts and the salary cap works? Clearly not.

Maybe you should spend a little less time trying to justify everything the Cowboys do and a little more time educating yourself.

Lol maybe you need to not assume, I've made threads about the TV deal and ramifications it has for this team going forward. This is the last yr this team has any kind of hardship with the cap because of how the have been building the team in recent yrs.

Anyways. Ignored. Bye. Lol lucky yr a mod and I can't

If anyone wonders about Jerry Jones as a talent evaluator, this should answer any questions. And, he’s our GM.

It’s all ego. He doesn’t want to admit that his contract was a huge blunder.

They can’t admit ANY of their numerous mistakes.

Deep RB class this year but yeah... Lets throw 20+ million to sign the vets on the team... One that lost all his speed and the other that lost a foot the last game he played.. What can go wrong?

So I see Rockport is back to defending Jer

Clueless, why is Elliot not what he was? Because he carried the team his first few years the nfl. He was the best rb I the nfl when he signed that deal. What you guys do is think he signed that deal last yr.

He signed his contract after 2018, the yr he ran for 1434 yrds rec 567 yrds and 9tds. 2000yrds 9 tds 4.7 yrds per carry. Did you know he out produced Emmitt in his first 4yrs?

Clueless

Did you know that Dallas signed him2 yrs early? And did you know that since he's been in the nfl he's had 2 yrs where his caphits have been extreme, that's 2020 and 2022

He earned everything he's made.

What he has “earned” is largely unimportant because the team didn’t do all that much.

Paying for RBs doesn’t get you the return one might get by paying other positions.

I don’t begrudge Elliott for making coin. I begrudge the Cowboys for stupidly paying him.

Like I've said. Going into yr 8 in the nfl, Elliot has had 2 yrs where his deal has impacted the cap. And one of them yrs they restructured him so it really didn't have much impact. Last yr did, this yr will, not have an affect either. The reason he has only had 2 yrs with a cap hit over 10mil. Why because the team extended him before yr 4. While he was on his rookie contract. So alot of the guaranteed money was being paid while on his rookie deal.

Alot of think you know more than the Jones'. The way the deal was structured was smart. I dare some of you to go look at the cap hits Elliot has had.

It was a bad deal. RBs don’t translate to wins.

Frankly fans might know more than Jerry. 27 years and zero real playoff success.

Jerry and Stephen admitted a week ago they messed up WR. Fans on this board pointed it out in August.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

I get it, but if we can get him on the cheap...he can do the little things that can extend another backs career. Why not use the dead money?

Good point, but with this owner bro he might have other plans for zeke. If Jerry didn't meddle I'd say it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep him on the cheap.

Yep and romo and Dak are the reasons we don’t win SBs.

Jerry and his self inflicted 10 year curses. The curse of Garrett and now the curse of zeke.

Ok Jerry jr.

Why keep a slow, battle worn RB on the roster for more cash than a rookie who has speed and a load of upside? It just makes no sense to me.

Amazing how there are still fans that want to pay and keep zeke.

And you know they will give him at least half the Carrie’s.

 

[erod]

For the right price, absolutely you keep Zeke. Fan idiocy in Dallas is embarrassing.

Because the rookie doesn't know how to do 50% of a running back's job in the NFL.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

Maybe Zeke should retire, and Jerry can add him to the coaching staff.....

He's not worth keeping for free because there is nothing he can do better than a fresh rookie from perhaps the deepest RB draft in the modern era.

 

[Rockport]

He's been garbage for 30 years. Anyone expect anything different at 80 years old? His ability to evaluate this football team is only gonna get worse at this point and it wasn't good to begin with.

He scored 12 td’s last year so if they can get him for 3 or 4 mil a year, I’d do that deal in a heart beat. And how many short yardage first downs did he get?
