I'm fine paying an elite RB *one year at a time*, and *before* they show signs of slowing down.I would pay him the cab fare to the airport. Not worth a huge contract.
I mean I see it here all the time....DO NOT PAY RB's.
Shoulda drafted drafted a full sized RB this year with the potential to replace Pollard next year.I don't expect to see him having a 1300 yd/10 TD; 40 catch season. He's not the Superman we think he is. He's better than Randle though. Good move by the FO to franchise him. Draft a dude in the 3rd
I'm drunk.
Maybe. Didn't. It ain't my life. It's just something I distract myself with. From what? This agonizing "love"we call life.Shoulda drafted drafted a full sized RB this year with the potential to replace Pollard next year.
Lol so you want to over spend on a RB, you just wanted a reason to say something like thisYou’re just another fan that doesn’t want to pay anyone. Give it a rest on these threads.
You would think, right? That's what I thought they were going to do. Now everyone in the league will know Dallas is looking for a RB on day 2 of the 2024 draft.Shoulda drafted drafted a full sized RB this year with the potential to replace Pollard next year.
I don't think the Cowboys keep him. His market value is around 9M. He'll probably end up making less, but he'll expect that from the Cowboys, and make less on another team. That's what happens to a lot of players. It works really well with QBs, not so much at other positions.He's currently making 10 as he has the tag. If we resign him, he's surely not getting that every year, unless he has a SUPER season.
With that said, I'm starting his offer off at about 6-7 million a year, for 3 years. 15 guaranteed? Or is that too much, please give me your thoughts....
Tell that to the Zeke haters, who turned on him in the blink of an eye.I'm fine paying an elite RB *one year at a time*, and *before* they show signs of slowing down.
Pollard would have been worth franchise money last year. Probably will be this year.
For context, both Gallup and Schultz made more last year than Pollard will make this year. Pollard was worth more than *both* those guys *combined* last year. People are just way undervaluing what an elite RB brings to the table.
LOL....that is the ticket for smart NFL teams. Or haven't you been paying attention?Sure, let's throw out a top of the NFL producer and dream of a 'great star.' You bet, that's the ticket...
I've read articles that said pollards injury could be "career threating" to the other extreme "won't impact" future ability. Not signing him may be the best case scenario for dallas. If he has a great year, you can franchise him again (I think it would be around 11.3 million) and try to work out a long term deal. If he doesn't look like the same player, don't resign him or possibly get him on a cheaper deal..I'd have paid him last year, and saved some cap. I can't understand why they waited. For as much as we do manage to get right, our timing on re-signs is putrid.
You act as if they had a choice. Players on rookie contracts cannot get extended until they have completed three years of play. He is not eligible for an extension until after this season.I'd have paid him last year, and saved some cap. I can't understand why they waited. For as much as we do manage to get right, our timing on re-signs is putrid.
Where did I say I wanted to overspend on an RB? You must have me confused with someone else. That’s the last position I want to spend a lot of money on.Lol so you want to over spend on a RB, you just wanted a reason to say something like this
That as a base level principal just doesn't sit...these are men and not Madden simulations. The media is taking care of the real monies.LOL....that is the ticket for smart NFL teams. Or haven't you been paying attention?
You don't scheme to test a single player. Limited his carries and expand his explosiveness!Im paying him by giving him every touch he can handle this year to show the next team how good he is and how much THEY should pay him on a long term deal..then I'm gonna draft a couple more RB's for next year.
