As expected. Glad to have him for at least another year.

Looks like it’s an issue with Twitter, not this site.

Yeah it's a twitter wide outage:

Cowboys now have placed their franchise tag on RB Tony Pollard, per source. RB franchise tag is $10.09 million.

This works if the plan is to move on from him after one year.

They really do need to remake the position, and it shouldn’t be all that difficult to do over a two off-season period.

Someone please explain to me what the salary is for the franchise tag. The understanding I have is they take the 5 highest salaries of that particular position and the middle salary is the salary?

forgone conclusion....next is a Zeke post June 1st cut designation.

Fingers crossed on a fully healed, 100 percent version of him.

Shocker there.

so we are giving a 2nd deal AGAIN to a rb. Thats 10 million we won't have UNLESS we sign him and prorate the cap hit. Stupid is AS stupid does.

 

[NeonNinja]

Please cut Zeke. The salary on RB is absolutely crazy. Highest in NFL.

 

[Rayman70]

Fingers crossed on a fully healed, 100 percent version of him.

Its a 10 mill gamble and I hate it. Dallas is assuming all the risk. NEVER EVER pay a RB a 2nd deal. Even if its a tag.

I was hoping to wake up to that news this morning actually.

 

[Rayman70]

its playing Russian Roulette with the team by doing this. Not very smart.

LET THE BOARD BURN DOWN!!!

*might be for the best*

Because the franchise is run by idiots.

 

[Rayman70]

20 has been hurt 2 years in a row..."hey LETS PAY THAT MAN. "

 

[Rayman70]

yes this.

 

[kumizi]

good

The amount of stupid people that will compare a 6/$90 million deal to a 1/$10 million deal as if they’re the same thing blows my mind.

The lesson to be learned from Zeke is to not lock up a running back to long term guaranteed money.
