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

[HungryLion]

There is a limit on how much they can back load with the 30% rule

You’re right about that. I’m actually not so worried about the total figures. I am just hoping the deal is structured so the team can cut him when he is 28-29 years old, if his production begins to drop.

 

[Silver N Blue]

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

Of course and ditto

 

[slick325]

My guy will be back in the fold! Couldn't be happier.

 

[phildadon86]

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?

No it means we lost him and negotiations have fallen apart. I mean according to you

 

[BatteryPowered]

Correct me if I'm wrong, if this is an extension the amount given at signing is spread over 8 years (this year, the 5th year option from rookie contract and the 6 from the extension). If so, that means...worse case...they used $5 million in cap room.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Don’t hate

LLLOOOLLL, BAN ROGER NOW! LLLOOOLLL

 

[Rogerthat12]

Of course and ditto

Zeke may be a dummy but that dummy is about to get some serious lettuce..lmao.

 

[viman96]

Everyone thinking the reported 6/90 is legit? And something Zeke is really considering? I still have my doubts.

 

[Rogerthat12]

LLLOOOLLL, BAN ROGER NOW! LLLOOOLLL

 

[PAPPYDOG]

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

WRONG we are paying cause our offense without Zeke is GARBAGE!!!!!
And we're paying early and too much....

 

[AbeBeta]

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

That's some Jacoby Brissett money right there!

 

[CowboyStar88]

If these numbers are true how do you feel about it?

 

[AbeBeta]

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!

You don't like truth?

 

[mmohican29]

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

Apparently so.

Maybe now that Philly has similar talent @ RB, the Eagles will face the same conundrum. sooner rather than later.

.... OMG, I'm just kidding!!!

Howard's a jag in comparison. It's gonna be OK, I promise.

 

[kumizi]

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.

Yea. He better not have guaranteed money past four more seasons. This will be his age 24 season. Three more seasons after this year. I anticipate he’ll be run into the ground by then, if not a year sooner.

Everyone thinking the reported 6/90 is legit? And something Zeke is really considering? I still have my doubts.

Dunno but La'el Collins seemed like a cap casualty during the offseason and Zeke taking that contract with 40 mill guaranteed might've had something to do with them having the space to sign La'el.

I'm pretty sure La'el and Zeke are good buddies along with Dak and Collins could've got more on the open market I imagine.

Could be worse. We could have Ajayi and win another Super Bowl

If it’s a 6 year extension and it means 8 years total including this one. Then he would be 31 during the last season of the contract.

But yeah it depends how it’s worded.

Of course if all the guarantees are done and paid in 4 years. It makes him cuttable when he is about 28 which is what I am hoping for.

 

[Corso]

If these numbers are true how do you feel about it?

I feel like Casper Van Dien in Starship Troopers when he's all in that goo-tub and the super-hot chick comes and kisses the glass wall...
Yeah...

 

[JD_KaPow]

If these numbers are true how do you feel about it?

None of that matters. What matters is the guaranteed money and when he can be cut.
