He's got the fifth yearAnd this is kind of my prediction.
I predict Zeke doesn't get another contract from Dallas. He will play out his contract next year and then get franchised for a year and then let go to FA to be replaced by a young back.
He is already visibly slower and is getting worn down to a nub. This style is not conducive to playing well on the 2nd half of a 2nd contract. With how dallas treats rbs...this is the smart play.
We will see how this plays out.
So Zeke did not practice today. Do you think we should increase the rotation between Smith and Zeke? At this pace, he's going retire in 2 years..
Agree, he kept playing but body language said he was out of it.He looked concussed in the Eagles came on the leading-with-helmet penalty.
I'm almost positive he was concussed.
Ok...still...not getting a second contract.He's got the fifth year
I'm not sure honestly. I think he'll definitely be here for at least a year even if it's on the tag. Do wish they could find another back to spell him. Maybe Tavon can steal a couple of snaps thereOk...still...not getting a second contract.
Call me crazy But I honestly think we end up Keeping Dak and Cooper while giving Zeke the boot.Not here if Dak gets a big contract.

Youtube knows me too well and put San Fran vs Cowboys championship game (1993) as recommendation. It brought back alot of great memories. Its noticeable how similar current Cowboys team is to that 1993 team. They relied heavily on Emmitt running & catching out of back field very similar to how Dallas is using Zeke. I would spot Zeke rest in practice and cut down on usage last 3 games but lets remember Zeke is their ticket to Superbowl if it happens. Check out this video is you have time (you will have to click link to youtube to view it)
And he is running for his new contract.No. Zeke is paid to play.
Hopefully Zeke can play productive ball for a long time like another #21 who is still a productive RB at the age of 35- Frank Gore.
he had heavy work load last game and I think they said he had a stinger, probably from the hit on the sideline that took him out of the game for a couple of plays.... so they are resting him...late in the season. its normal.So Zeke did not practice today.

Yah, I was just referring to the treatment he was getting during the game. I don't think he was doing concussion symptoms, or they would have been doing some other things. Maybe they did the concussion protocol in the tent. But he did go back into the gameDon't forget his knee issues
It's not crazy at all. We gotta pay D.Law, because our defense is what makes the team right now. We are going to pay cooper, because it wouldn't make sense to trade a #1 draft pick for him if you are not going to pay him. Jones seems to be a homer for Dak. So by the time we get to our best player, all the money is gone.Call me crazy But I honestly think we end up Keeping Dak and Cooper while giving Zeke the boot.
Zeke still has speed, he's just been dealing with a nagging knee injuries for weeks now.
It's funny to hear some of these responses, and then fans want players to give home team discounts during contract negotiations.
