Rapoport: Cowboys want to keep Pollard, franchise tag an option

[Risen Star]

 

[Stash]

Ugh.

These guys never learn.

 

[HungryLion]

A franchise tag for pollard would be acceptable because it isn’t a long term deal. Get one more year of excellent production out of him. Then let him walk.

 

[erod]

Exactly the right move.

Bye, Dalton.

 

[ShortRound]

Zeke to Pollard
“I know this great place in Cabo”

 

[rambo2]

Exactly the right move.

Bye, Dalton.

You better hope that they are able to keep both of them.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Does this mean the front office plans to keep paying Zeke $16 mil/season???

 

[Eddie]

Let both Zeke and Pollard go. No need to pay that kind of money to RB's. We can get Pollard back cheap when the real GM's won't pony up that kind of money for a scatback.

We can find starting quality RB's on day two and three of the draft.

 

[rambo2]

Ugh.

These guys never learn.

I think that it is the right move to tag him, just like it was the right move to tag Schultz this year.

Franchise tag means you are in a cotract year and you'll play your best. I'm all for it. Dump Schultz.

 

[Praxit]

..after SHultz catchs 3 TD's today. You guys will be, Oh *****!

 

[Stash]

I think that it is the right move to tag him, just like it was the right move to tag Schultz this year.

And they were clearly wrong about Schultz too.

This ^^^^^^^^ but the 2023 draft for a possible replacement. Also, if this is true, Zeke will not be back. No way they're bringing both back.

This.

He's playing well now and betting on *one* more year is a reasonable bet. It's the 5 year contracts with years guaranteed that get you in trouble.

We franchised Schulz. Pollard is much more valuable and would cost much more. One year transition while we bring in a *couple* of rookies to replace him.

Someone feel free to show us the last second contract for a running back that worked out well for the team:

I said no to Schulz and yes to Pollard.

Pollard is more important to the team and as usual we haven't prepared for him leaving.

 

[reddyuta]

they have to cut Zeke,we can get his production from a draft pick at a fraction of the price.even Jerrys love Zeke should not stop them from making this obvious move.

What's to prepare? A rookie can step up on day 1 of next season.

Show us the last time a RB still performed for 1 year on a second contract.
That's all you need for franchising a player.
