Trade scenerio: Jonathan Taylor for Pollard trade

[Flamma]

You get taylor at $12.5 million for next four years.

Probably the same contract as pollard will end up getting from someone.

Pollard is going to be 27 next year. I doubt anyone gives him a 4 year contract.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I'm not sold on Tony being "lead back", "RB1" RB by committee...whatever!....but man.....let's give him his earned shot at it.

We can always hire zeke back.

He's got this injury...but he doesn;t have a ton of mileage on him like how we did zeke dirty.

 

[Hardline]

So I take a downgrade on RB?

It would be an upgrade

 

[big dog cowboy]

Pollard is going to be 27 next year. I doubt anyone gives him a 4 year contract.

In todays NFL almost no RB is going to be getting a big 2nd contract. Getting tagged is the biggest deal they will get per year.

 

[Sheepherder]

Lol, they aren't trading Pollard.

You know there's not much to talk about in here when people start coming up with these ideas.Maybe he should go and talk to cap boy. He probably would say, We like our guys.

Zeke got a monster contract. He wasn't done dirty.

 

[Havic]

Zeke got a monster contract. He wasn't done dirty.

and his performance after that 2nd contract is a reason why the league doesn't want to pay for that position.

Pollard is gone at the end of this year. The boys will be drafting their next great rb in 2024. Book it.

 

[KJJ]

This is another one of those threads where you’re thankful fans don’t run the team. Jerry isn’t about to sign an RB to a $50 million long-term contract with $25 million guaranteed when he has to find a way to pay CeeDee and Parsons. Jerry already mentioned having to pay Parsons when talking about why he’s not going to be reworking Zack Martin’s deal.

The only thing you might be able to book is that Pollard won’t be back in 2024. Coming up with our next great RB in next year‘s draft is a real stretch, because we very likely won’t be taking one high, unless our RB situation this season turns into a real nightmare.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Do not see Taylor getting $16M a year, think that train has left the station for all teams.

 

[Kingofholland]

Taylor agrees to same contract as derek henry. 4 years, 50 million, 25 guaranteed.

Would you do it?

Paying another running back a lot of money when we just got out of the last one isnt my preference. We also have to consider Taylor may never reproduce his 2021 season again. Hes coming off a ankle injury and there are some reports of a possible back issue.

I much rather stick with Pollard.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Zeke got a monster contract. He wasn't done dirty.

Okay...since you say so. Must be true.

Zeke wants to play football. That is why he played hurt. Blocked for an o-line we refused to re-inforce.

Yes he got paid. He was the best back in that 3 year period. EPIC rookie season. Pay him......but keep what he does viable. Good o line. Good QB that defenses fear. WR's that FIGHT.

We did none of that.

Then we hung him out to dry. There's a lot of details in that maybe you might be too hateful to get. It';s okay. You da man.

In todays NFL almost no RB is going to be getting a big 2nd contract. Getting tagged is the biggest deal they will get per year.

The position is pretty much dead in a passing league. We will instead see more guys like Debo who are utility swiss army knife guys who can do many things including line up at WR

No one is handing Pollard a 12 mil contract

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Taylor agrees to same contract as derek henry. 4 years, 50 million, 25 guaranteed.

Would you do it?

Lad, I was about to write "balderdash" but on further review I say "balderdash!"

Yeah, muddle up the waters, add drama and miff off Pollard fans. What could go wrong?

 

[Stash]

Lost in this scenario is this:

What’s in it for the Colts?

Why would they trade for a running back that would cost them twice as much money?

 

[ColoradoCowboy]

I would be in heaven. Guy from my high school the running back for the Cowboys!!!

Careful what you wish for. It didn't work out so well when we had a guy from my High School at Linebacker. Rolando McClain.

 

[Jarntt]

I thought hell yes. But everyone thinks no .... so Ill say no. What do I know
