If this keeps up then I am gonna need a signing bonus..
And did he not get a signing bonus up front to cover that possibility?
Sigh of relief soon coming from the trade/release Zeke crowd.
Its okay, we know you were just acting out of frustration.
Yeah, players know that if they can't play well anymore, or their production drops off to the point where someone making 1/10 what they make can do a better job, they will get cut.Wow ....... So you think using up and then cutting Demarcus Ware with 2 years left on his contract is ethical ........ but Zeke holding out of training camp isn't.
Oh I see ...... you just joined today when news of Zeke's imminent signing.
Hmmm
I'm gonna text Jerry and tell him to wait til Monday.No joke- in a thread here quite a while back, somebody asked when we thought Zeke would sign, and I said September 1.
If it really happens, I'm going to give myself a "good guess" pat on the back.
You read my mind.And next year he will be labeled the greedy one. lol
They don't sign big free agents anymore..they have like a hundred million in cap space next year. They can do whatever they want in regards to payrollAnd when the Cowboys can't sign anyone in free agency and can't even extend their own draftees, the "whistle past the graveyard" and "pay the man" crowds will complain about the FO not getting Zeke and Dak any help.
I think it's more of Zeke's agent trying to get a deal done before the season starts and paychecks are at risk, not jerry trying to get a deal done...
Lol you already knoBecause he's Zeke and he's a thug.

Again, that's why they get signing bonuses.
Are you cruel to animals also bud??? dang....

Who do we sign in free agency except the clearance sale guys anyway. We haven't signed a starter from free agency in years.And when the Cowboys can't sign anyone in free agency and can't even extend their own draftees, the "whistle past the graveyard" and "pay the man" crowds will complain about the FO not getting Zeke and Dak any help.
Because the players are grossly overpaid. Player salaries have gone up by a ridiculous amount over the last 25 years. Not one player who gets a second contract will ever have to work a day in his life post football - and neither will his kids.BULL
Signing bonus's are for the team .... so they can spread the hit out over years and control the cap hits ....... it was not invented by players ........ but the same owners who cut said players with years left on their contracts and then demand players to honor the full terms of said contracts .......
The NFL is the only place where contracts are one sided because the owners have a monopoly and complete control without any overseeing.
And clueless fans defend them and vilify the players.
Personally, with our O line I would have looked to trade Zeke and roll with Pollard/McCoy or Ajayi. Save the money, draft a RB next year and focus on building up our defense by signing Jones, save money for LVE and maybe dabble in FA with the money we save on Zeke.Again you can win without a top flight runner if you have an elite qb or/and an elite defense.
WHICH ONE DO WE HAVE?

Quit acting like these guys are some poor working class schlubs. They're rich men. Even if they get cut they're doing better than 99% of the population when it comes to money.
