Love the Zeke but dang thats a lot of Cap for a HB!!! Again we are paying cause we have a inept passing game and need Zeke......oh well GL Zeke make us proud and score us a lot of points!

Are you even able to make a post that doesn’t slight the QB of your suppose to be favorite team ?

We are paying this because Steven and jerry aren’t the sharpest this has been proven with regularity

 

[Little Jr]

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.

There is a limit in his big they can be with the 30% rule

 

[Vanilla2]

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

Then he’ll just get another extension

 

[Stash]

We will allow it as a win, close enough.

 

[AsthmaField]

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

If you’re the best in the league?

Yes.

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

You can backload with guarantees as well, ones thatll never be paid. Like Gurley and Wentz, teams could have cut them after year 1-2 and dolled out less than half the guarantees. 'fully guaranteed at signing' will be an interesting one, if its reported.

I'll say this, Jerry was right, he HAS earned the right to joke with Zeke. Loyal on and off the field.

 

[gimmesix]

Yep...

Looking like 40 Million. Not a win or loss for either side on that one.

That's what I thought the team should be shooting for based on Gurley getting $45 million guaranteed. If Zeke's is $40 million, then it's a good deal. We shouldn't be paying attention to the overall number because most of that will never be seen.

You don't dress like this? I was referring to the way overhyped Pollard and the saracastic trade him thread.

His foundation with his stars since he got here.

You know I am just having fun...and yes I do...lmao!

Then he’ll just get another extension

When he is 30?

I’m not anti Zeke. Not at all. I’m just saying I am hoping it’s strucutred so when he is 28 years old, they can cut him painlessly if his performance drops off.

 

[Fletch]

Kewl.

Kewl=Cool

I totally get it.

 

[Silver N Blue]

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

Yeah buddy now let's go win a freaking SUPER BOWL!!!

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

When he is 30?

If its a 6 year extension does that means he basically has an 8 year contract now? Is that a record for a RB? He'll be... 32 when its done? 33?

I totally get it.

Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good!
