Worried about Zeke

Yes, they are two completely different situations. There was no salary cap back in the 90s.
Gordon and Zeke may carry different values to their respective teams, but I don't believe any team can afford to pay a RB north of $10M/year in today's NFL.

Look dude, it all depends on what the team wants. It's not about affording or anything like that, it's about who you are willing to pay. If Gordon is not worth it to the Chargers, fine. That's on them. But the Cowboys are not going to the SB without Zeke. Plain and simple. We're going to have to pay him. I don't really like the guy, but that's the simple truth. And lets face it, most of his off the field antics is childish. I'm not concerned.

Yep. Also those Dak haters are starting to get desperate. Personally, I'm not worried about Zeke's contract. If we have Zeke or don't, Dak is going to show out.
Only thing we should be taking about the Giants and not Zeke's holdout. He's been a headache ever since he's worn the star.

That would be a shame. A roster loaded with talent like the Cowboys have and they can't find a way to win without one player, albeit, perhaps their best offensive player.

Zeke has been great getting the Cowboys through some games, but teams have been able to contain him if not shut him down when it matters most, in the post season. Zeke alone won't be taking them to the SB.

Well of course not. A RB alone won't even take a bad team to the playoffs. Lets see what happens in week 1. Looks like he won't be playing.

I thought Zeke was going to sign his new contract no later than the end of this weekend? Well it's already upon us... any news? We need him for Week 1.
As soon as we lost to the Rams last year you were in the gameday thread talking about "the seasons not over for me the eagles can still win it". What did you say when they lost? How many different teams jerseys do you have? Does your closet function like a rolodex? Just spin that **** each week and hope for a winner.

Kansas City was my last hope. I like Mahomes, good kid. I hate the Cheatriots with all my heart and still to this day think Brady is overrated and a system QB.

Three teams then. A few weeks ago the count was at two so I'm thinking we can get you one from every division. AFC and NFC.

You were right about one thing at least. We are not going to any SB. We still have Garrett and his lackey Linehan clone Moore. This team couldn't get to a SB
even with Zeke so why waste a bunch of cap on a RB for goodness grief.

Why? we still have Garrett and his minion Moore running the offense. Time to tank...clean house and start over.

I hope the cowboys tell Zeke's agent, well if you think Zeke is worth what you want we'll give you permission to seek a trade.....
