Saleh on Zeke

[RonnieT24]

Don't understanding why Elliott and his agent didn't just contact those three teams privately, instead of putting out a "wish list" for everyone to see and know about?

Marketing my friend. If everything is done in private other teams out there might think they can sit back and play the waiting game. If you put it out there that there is interest, even if it's just lukewarm interest, then other teams who might be contemplating making a move are on notice. It's how the game is played. Zeke's agent seems to be pretty good at it so I trust he will get his client the best deal possible. And if no suitable deal is out there he can hang out, miss training camp and join some contender mid-season when an injury occurs. With completely fresh legs to boot!! Said contender might even be the Cowboys because I don't know if you noticed, but their new RB1 has gotten hurt two years running while playing less than half the snaps. Anybody here think he's going to become MORE durable with MORE workload on his shoulders? Especially if they start asking him to take more of those dirty yard runs and stick his body between Dak and an onrushing 260 pound heat seeking missile 10-15 times a game. We can probably already book it that TP misses at least 2-3 games next season. You think a guy who knows the offense and lives 10 minutes from The Star won't be the first phone call Jerry makes when that happens? If he's still available of course..

Zeke is gone, bro.

It's time to move on.

The whole league knows what took a couple years to figure out.

Fresh legs?.? Lol…..I stopped there…

 

[glimmerman]

Just have a feeling that JJ had a deal in place with Elliot. We cut him he gets 6 million, then if he don’t get offered what he wants from another team we sign him to a new contract before the season for 2 million..

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Had to ask.....becasue some of the same was questionable about him too.....oops, but TRomo is beloved, yet ringless too. My bad.

When is the last time we had a coach have to dumb down the offense for Romo like we have to do for Dak

 

[The Fonz]

If 31 teams don't want Zeke, logically why would the Cowboys?

He is one of their guys

 

[Cmac]

What a weirdo. Blocking you.

 

[Cmac]

What a weirdo. Blocking you.

Take your ball home Johnny.....that's funny.

I obviously touched a nerve.

 

[Zordon]

I see no reason why he should play the first half of the season.

 

[RomoIsGod]

Apparently high mileage running-backs that run a 5.3 40 are not in high demand.. who knew?

A 5.3? He'd got to still be 4.8 or so but still slow.

 

[Starforever]

Is that the same reason Ekeler and Henry are waiting for someone to grab them? Zeke is not the only RB looking for work.

The Draft is loaded and teams is waiting to see how it all plays out . . .

 

[noshame]

I don't think Zeke would make the top 100 RBs
Unless you're paying him to babysit Dak.

Those guys are looking to be traded and the return will be significant. Zeke is a FA who should take vet minimum at this point. Very different scenarios.

So you say.

 

[Big_D]

So you say.

? They’re still on a team. Neither one are looking for work.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Some team will sign him, not for much but he can still play.

I don't think he will get a contract before TC. This is a RB rich draft with talent through round 5. So, nobody is desperate to pay him or take on his stardom which no longer matches his talent.

Now, he could be a late signing if he stays in shape and some team gets thin at the position due to injuries.
