What could we get for Zeke?

[Irvin88_4life]

For the first time, I think a Zeke deal might not get done.

Jerry seems really irritated with him. And o don’t think Zeke or his agent will back down.

I was so jazzed to have the 4th pick in my fantasy draft this weekend. Now I have no idea what I’ll do with that pick.

Draft Pollard

You are absolutely 100% sure of this?

100% sure of a belief?
You can be 100% sure of a fact but not of a belief.

Different position.

WR, Pass Rusher, LT, QB seem to be the positions that result in significant draft picks in recent years.

The Cowboys would likely get something decent for Zeke but less than many fans think.

Many fans and some media think: "Zeke is better than Herschel Walker. The Cowboys can get a boatload of picks for him".

That trade was also done prior to free agency and the salary cap. Also, the running back position is not valued at the same level now as it was then.

With the possible exception of Commanders whacko Dan Snyder, nobody’s gonna offer a future 1st-rd pick for a guy who’s currently holding out on his rookie contract because he wants to be paid more money than any other RB in the league.

Your opinion.

Zeke off-field will be lucky to get a box of Cracker Jax's

Different position.

Teams are not anxious to give big contracts to RBs.
- Saquon Barkley's rookie contract is the 6th largest RB contract.
- There is long list of contracts larger than any rookie WR contract.

Yep he plays a different position, so what? Actually the fact that you can build an offense around Zeke makes him more valuable then an aging receiver.

I haven't heard ONE person talk about the Walker deal. Do you know how much they got for Walker?

1st and 3rd would be easy to get.

 

[Northern_Cowboy]

At least a #1 and probably more. What do you think the fair market value would be for Zeke?

At least a #1 probably a little more. If he was traded the team trading would have him a minimum 2 years because his 5th year option is picked up. I could see a serious contender taking the gamble for 2 seasons if they thought Zeke would put them over the top

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

LOL...for a running back with 3 years of tread on his tires? Pass the pipe!

Who's a physical speciman, strong & fast, can run over/jump over defenders, can get 1,500 easy. Not to mention his threat as a reciever. You obviously need a hit of acid to change your reality from a deep self induced coma.

 

[irishline]

Right. But this thread was about what the NFL market would give. Not what you and other posters on this forum would give.

Right. But (to my knowledge) none of us work in that NFL market you brought up so therefore what you are getting is the opinions of what people on this forum thinks it would give.

As you can see by the varied responses what you are reading is pretty much what the posters would give. I mean at this point in the thread we go from a third all the way up to two firsts and a third in a trade.

Unless I am missing something, the last time a NFL running back fetched a first round pick in a trade (not counting draft) was 2002. The Dolphins for Ricky Williams (which was a 1st and 3rd with escalators).

Edit: I am wrong the Colts gave up a 1st for Trent Richardson... that worked well.

 

[GenoT]

Idk I could be wrong but i feel like if you offer Zeke to the chiefs for a 1st they accept it and print superbowl tickets.

That’s a possibility...as long as KC would be willing to accept Zeke’s contract terms. Remember, if traded, he can hold out in KC just as easy as he can in Dallas.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

1 and a 3 is what I'd want. Nobody will do that.

Yes they wiil and prob more. Name 1 back in the league (besides Barkley) with Zeke's total skillset with the speed/power he has.

 

[Northern_Cowboy]

Seattle should take a run at him. They have 20m in cap space available this season and 60 next year. it would be beast mode all over again in Seattle except they now have a seasoned pro in Russel Wilson and not Wilson as a rookie or 2nd year player like they did with Lynch. Zeke runs for 1800+ yards in Seatlle and we get at least a 1st and a 3rd and probably a decent player too. Plus we get rid of the headache Zeke has become

And yet, whenever someone says anything positive about Zeke you bring up the Rams game as some sort of retort.

I'm starting to wonder if you have a split personality.

You might get a 1 and 3 from someone. But whoever might do that trade would also have to meet Zeke’s current contract demands(?), or else what’s to stop him from continuing his holdout?

1st and 3rd would be easy to get.

There are only 3 RBs getting paid over 9M per year.

Team's don't appear anxious to pay RBs the 15M+ per year that Zeke is demanding.

Teams are moving towards having 2 or 3 RBs with in the mid tier pay range.

Example
49ers
7.5M
4.25M
3.9M

Not
15M
500K
500K

Right before the trade deadline (week 6 or so?) I think his trade value would be max for a team who needs a RB bad. And Zeke would have to report to get a year of service. I would expect a 1st and maybe a later round pick if there was some competition for his services. Some team might trade for him just to keep him from a competitor. Sit on him for 9 games for roughly 9/16 of $3.8M, roughly $2M cap hit.

A really desperate team could give up a 1st and 3rd around the trade deadline. That team could trade him the following year for a 2nd maybe.

A bag of Munchos because like him they are salty.

no they wont,they got 3 good RBs right now.

 

[Northern_Cowboy]

no they wont,they got 3 good RBs right now.

Then we can get a 1st and a 3rd plus one of those backs for Zeke
