Per Schefter, Zeke deal to be done within 24 hours **merged**

[Silver N Blue]

Schefter's article says they are trying to get it done in the next 24 hours not that it will be done.

It's really a no news update. No crap they're trying.

Click baiting us yet again! I still think with multiple sources and being close in years and total it's done.

The devil will be in the details but by god............... 6 years, $90MM. LOL.

If he's still productive, I'm gonna say that 15 mill a year is going to look puny in 2026 (if this is a 6 year extension).

 

[Vanilla2]

If so, That bad boy better be backloaded with non guaranteed money.

Why backload with all the space next year?

Also gives the team the ability to walk away if and when he holds out again

 

[Silver N Blue]

May be able to trade Pollard now for 8 first rounders. Although the team may riot.

I don't know this is one special cat.

 

[Stash]

So how in the world did it go from not paying Gurley money to $90 million? We don't want to pay you $57 million so we'll give you $90 million instead?

I'd say that there are large salaries on that back end, when he's proven it and the cap is significantly higher, or years on the deal he'll never see.

24 hours? That's a long window.

Just get this done....sheesh

The FO has a bet, the over / under of how many threads on here about Zeke will be started in the next 24 hours. Vegas odds were set at 1250.
This info came from the liquor store clerk by the way.
Hence, the delay.

LOL.

This seems to be the answer for every big contract that we give out............... Man, it's gonna look so cheap in a few years!

So holding out with multiple years left on your previous deal works, even for the least valued position in football

 

[Corso]

Dang that's QB money and I mean Franchise QB money!!!!

15/year is Franchise QB money nowadays? Huh...

 

[Air Force One]

We would have traded him but no one wanted to pay the shipping on his head.

now he can afford head reduction surgery

 

[Rogerthat12]

I don't know this is one special cat.

 

[jazzcat22]

Dang it! I had 5-years and $75 million!

We will allow it as a win, close enough.

 

[gimmesix]

Its happening. Thank God. Lets get back to football now.

I believe there's much more complaining that can be done about Zeke after he signs his deal before we can actually move on to focusing on football.

 

[Rogerthat12]

now he can afford head reduction surgery

He can now feed his children’s...oh wait...

Why backload with all the space next year?

Back loading with non guaranteed money means the player never sees that money unless they are still performing at a high level.

Backloading makes the total amount irrelevant because the player will be cut or the deal renegotiated when the cap hit gets bigger than the dead money hit.

Did you expect Pappy to be a mathematician?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Zeke is your new QB...lmao!

Zeke has always been the QB........since the start 2016......we saw when our QB Zeke was out what happened to the offense!
Maybe he should change his # to 12.......

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

Ben Rogers reporting a deal has been agreed to in principle and there will be a presser tomorrow.

 

[jazzcat22]

As long as we can still lock up Cooper and Dak I’m good.

Going to be interesting to see what Saquon gets in a few years

Not nearly as much, as his true suckiness will show this year.
