I’m not thrilled with it (wanted henry) but I actually think zeke can still be productive cause of his vision.

He averaged 3.5 yards a carry last year on a pretty bad New England team who couldn’t throw the ball. Maybe he’ll surprise us all

He ran for a 3.8 yards a carry is his last season with Dallas.

$3 million and $2 million guaranteed?

Would it have broken the bank just to cough up a little more for Derrick Henry or Aaron Jones? Big power backs who have run for several 100 yard games in the last 2 years while Zeke hasn’t since 2021.

Henry was getting $4.5 mIllion guaranteed per year in 2 year contract. Aaron Jones had one year contract with $4 million guaranteed.

Thats all that matters. Rest is just paper numbers if you cut them.
Yep, we paid the Ewok $3 million.

Derrick Henry signed got $4.5 a year and there was rumors he would have taken as low as $4 a year with Dallas since he lives in the Dallas area, his house is 18 miles from the stadium.

So, Ewok for $3 a year or cough up an extra $1 million and you might have gotten King Henry.

That is a special level of stupid there, its almost like they are trying to lose on purpose at this point.:facepalm:

Has this ever happened before with another franchise and former player? It's like making up with a former girlfriend because you have no other prospects. LOL.

Not even just this. Pollard himself is only making 4 million this year - 8 million next year with no guaranteed money in his third year. If we had to bring a guy back, why not bring back the RB with some actual juice left?

For those saying this is a good idea, the reason it isn’t is because you could’ve had a much better RB for maybe $1M more(Moss, Jones, etc). Truth is the FO went for a Disney storyline rather than a desire to win
Yep, for an extra $1 we could have had a legit RB, like Moss, Jones, or maybe even King Henry (rumors he would have given the Cowboys a discount since he lives in Dallas).

Instead they go with the Ewok, :lmao2:


Only the delusional homers are the only ones left that think this team is actually trying to win this year.................most obvious tank season I have seen in the NFL in years, not even trying to hide it.:banghead:

In the universe we live in. Just say you don't know what you're talking about.

Where is Pollard ranked on that list? Now show me where Zeke is.

BS. I know what my eyes see. … ‘Lies, damn lies, and statistics.’ - attributable to Benjamin Disraeli through Mark Twain (?).

Zeke: 6’0” - 226 lbs … Tony: 6’0” - 209 lbs. I guess 17 lbs might make a difference.

Anyway… Pollard is no great shakes as a blocker - Zeke is just s better blocker. Hey… let’s ask Dak.

Look, I respect what Zeke did for the Cowboys in the past, but for the team to give him anything above the vet minimum shows you just how out of touch this front office really is. Who were you bidding against Jerry? No one else wanted him.
The incompetence of this organization on full display, and just screems what the real issue is; No Accountability.
Any GM who made the decision to give Zeke anything above min would be fired, but of course, the Jones can't fire themselves, though they should.
$2M guaranteed...still crying also about the 4th round going for a QB already trained for a year?

Excellent point...............Pollard on one leg is still better than the Ewok.

Moss, Jones, Pollard, King Henry...................could have had any of them for just $1 million more.

Dam, I am so pissed right now I better log off before I get banned for a day.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Let’s be real for a minute.

No rookie is going to come in and produce like Zeke will THIS year.

2023
Bijan Robinson - 214 car. 976 yards
Jahmyr Gibbs - 185 car. 945 yards
Devon Achane - 103 car. 800 yards

Robinson and Gibbs were first rounders and Achane a 3rd.

The RBs were much less talented than Robinson and Gibbs. I am sad we didn’t land a guy like Jaylen Wright.

His numbers dropped after he got hurt. Of course, they weren't fantastic before he missed two games. He was averaging 4.06 up until then.

Elliott - 185 carries, 642 yards, 3 TDs

His stat line last year. He was below average last season with the Patriots.
