There isnt a GM in football that would keep Zeke under these circumstances.

Jerry on the other hand will probably keep him around and feature him.

I bet the cowboys keep him for a reduced salary, probably $3m or so.

 

[Carson]

Cowboys will keep him

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

He'll be cut.

The interesting part will someone else sign him. My guess is no but there's always that GM wanting to generate name interests.

 

[Majic]

All we keep hearing from those close to the team (DC.Com staff) is that he will be cut.
Can't see it myself.

What would the CAP hit look like assuming that's a $3m paid money....hasn't he got bonus to add on top? If there is then a post June cut, saving $10m against this year's CAP may be more advantageous.

He should be cut, but it's the Cowboys, so he'll take a pay cut and make more money with the Cowboys next year than any team would offer him on the market.

Doesn't make sense at all

Dropping his base to $3 would save about $8 vs the cap.

An extra $2m against the cap for a name to keep on the roster, and a short yardage specialist may be worth it to jerry idk. Just my guess and trying to think like jerry in doing so.

Yep, that's how Jerry would see it....making his guy fit. I suppose if he were objective over it he'd see that when Pollard went down Zeke couldn't step up.
I just hope the decision is made for the betterment of the team, rather than Jerry's affinity to his guy's.

i think we'll make a thousand new threads asking this question and websites will run 10,000 more new "cowboys may cut zeke" stories as well.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Cut or massive salary cut. I’m fine with goal line back. Not much more.

We should cut him.
With GM Jerry, probably keep him as he gets attached to players.
We really do like/love our guys...

I think he will be released and signs with the Bucs ( following his RB coach ).

 

[Havic]

Cut.

This has been discussed on many topics but he is a progress stopper and his replacement will be found in this years draft

cut him. cut him. what benefit does he bring to the team? he is a shell of his former self. doesn't contribute and keeping him at that salary, to be a back up or worse yet, obligated to start him because of salary or history or whatever...even if he renegotiates.

time to let him go. he is a progress stopper. we should just draft a new RB, in mid rounds.

I never wanted to draft zeke. I thought it was a mistake. I argued against giving him a second contract. now we are at a point, that we just have to move on.

well it depends on if he will take what stephen is offering. If he does that he will not be cut, if he doesnt , he will be cut.
I imagine dak will say he needs elliot, as they are buddies, and that might help keep him around.
Also they are unsure of pollard and when he will be ready.

Where's the poll?
Cut.
The Combine is over a there doesn't seem to be much of a market.
