How about the word that his $4 million salary will simply roll until 2020 if he doesn't show up? He'd be playing for that same $4 million in 2020 anyway.
I'm not sure that word is right.
If so, it's more mutual assured destruction. Zeke can hold out half the year and still get his accrued season, but the season is easily a bust for the team if he does. With the accrued season, he could then hold out in 2020 and be a clear free agent at 26 with good season and a half of rest.
I'd be much more willing to pay him a bigger contract in free agency in that scenario than after two more full years as the bell cow here.
