Might need the cash to pay off a security guard

Meh. Let him .

 

[Scotman]

I'm a huge fan of Elliott on the field. But, holding out when you have a contract for two more years and you've seemed to have off the field issues pop up every year, I'm not sure what I do. Let him hold out and see if you have something in your 3rd round back? That's a bad plan, probably. I'm just not sure I'm all in right this minute.

Edited to add...no source for this rumor of course.

 

[quickccc]

naah, . i'd really have to see what transpires at report time at training camp week.

 

[DuncanIso]

Meh. Let him .

Really?

He is being underpaid.

I warned everyone about this.

Pay Zeke.

Sure. Pay him and then bill him for all the man-hours they've spent trying to bail his azz out of trouble. I'm guessing it nets out in favor of the team.

Pay Zeke.

He's not underpaid. He's on a rookie contract, so he is paid exactly what he's supposed to be paid.

He’s making 3.8 mil this season.

He’s an elite RB with two rushing titles.

His market value is at least 10-15 mil per year.

I think, at some point, the NFLPA is going to have to do something, because this hold out thing is getting ridiculous. Yes, Zeke is underpaid, but that's a flaw with the CBA and will exist, forever, if there is a rookie wage scale.

Do rumors really need a source? It's the off-season. Let this thread go off the rails. "Let it roll, baby, roll ..."

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

TRADE HIM

 

[Fletch]

Fake news!

 

[Sydla]

Really?

We will lose without him.

So the alternative it bow to him and overpay him?

That sounds smart.

$7.8 b/c of his signing bonus, but yea, he's underpaid by almost half.
