Per Fisher, Zeke signing is eminent

Signing Zeke is the opposite of marketing. Unless Zeke is somehow going to coach up workout video snippets.
What do you think their logic is (regardless of whether you agree with it)? I can’t think of another reason it would be useful unless he plans on retiring a Cowboy.

I’m not sure why this is that difficult. Backup RB who can come in on 3rd downs and protect the QB with the best of em for a season while you’re rookie RB is learning how!
Because he's a waste of a roster spot. Zeke on 3rd down gives the defense one less player to worry about

Eatman said this morning expect 3-5 new signings post draft with 2 being former Pro Bowlers (one is Zeke)
Kind of hoping the second is a receiver (not sure who's out there). I don't think we'll draft one, at least not early, and I'm not sold on our No. 3 options.

Exactly. On a cheap deal, he is a good backup to a stud rookie. Also, still good at the goalline and in pass pro.

cheap at the vet minimum or the 6 million that we still owe him cheap?
The Cowboys aren’t paying him 6 million this year. How many times do you have to be told that a Cap charge is not money that a player is getting paid. It is money they already paid him in the past. You’ve been told that at least 100 times that I can count myself.

I'm a Zeke fan. They overdrafted and they overpaid, but he's a fun, dependable player. His pass pro is elite and he helps on short yardage.

If you are hoping for explosive plays or trick plays at Center, you will probably be disappointed.

This is an after the draft discussion. No need to do this until we know what we have. This could even be done before TC….

Even listening to the fans who think it's a quality signing is comical. The bar is quite low here. Just stop with the 'short yardage specialist' garbage. They can find a guy who can do that and actually break a long one. Imagine? how crazy would that be? Rather use Luepke in that spot. This is truly disturbing with this team.

And let Fisher know it's imminent.. not eminent. moron.

Only question is, who's getting cut in the RB room? Especially if and when we draft a RB.
