Zeke has to be ticked that he will be paid less than Cooper

[Jkyle]

I know it's the market that determines the monetary value of each position but it has to be frustrating for Zeke knowing that he will be paid less than what Cooper will get contract wise.
He is probably the most valuable player for this offense scheme wise and takes a beating but will see other players making more than him simply due to his position value.

Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You want to do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, y'all

For the love of money...

It's no doubt tough to be a running back theses days. The "buck for the bang" isn't what it used to be, nor what it should be.

A one- time glamor position has eveloved into a chew you up, spit you out meatgrinder.

If you understand the market determines the monetary value of each position, don't you think Zeke understands this too? An elite RB does not merit elite WR pay, it's unprecedented. There is no reason Zeke should sensibly have those expectations.

Ah the Rocket Club & Bullet Boys

I had to google that band.

They may have performed the same song but my post goes a little further back to the O'Jays and the early 70's.

Less than DLaw too.

The man is under contract. He signed it. A real man honers his word. Zeke is not a man he is a kid that wants to be a man.

If Elliott doesn't like it he can always try to find some other profession that will pay him more.

Elliott CHOSE to be a rb. Now, he has to live with the consequences of that choice......... even it means making 16 million per instead of 20. Maybe some Dave Ramsey podcasts could help him learn to live with the lesser paycheck.

Here we go again...

DeMarcus Ware cut

Ware, who turns 32 in July, was set to count $16.003 million against the cap with a $12.25 million base salary.

Two parties sign those contracts. No one seems to mind when the team doesn't "honer" it.

 

[Praxit]

..or put it this way. You can be a RB 10 yrs ago and get peanuts compared. Nonetheless, he will get a nice viable check that will probably take care of him for life.

 

[Proof]

all that goes out the window when you are comparing yourself to someone else directly. Do you really think hearing “sure you’re better and a bigger part of this team and it’s effectiveness, but he plays a different position “ would satisfy someone?

 

[DallasEast]

This is better.

I like the beginning but will need to wait until later to watch the whole thing. Perhaps I will judge it as a great song but the O'Jays classic does not take a backseat to any other on the topic in my opinion.

 

[glimmerman]

Goes by position. Elliot is being offered more than the highest paid RB. Star WR make more than that. Star QB make more than WR.

LOL..... This is wrong. I never liked cutting Ware but if you really look at it, the contract was designed to be executed that way and both sides new it. This is why Guaranteed money is the most important aspect of any contract. This is also why Zeke, IMO, has nothing to complain about, in terms of his situation. His contract was 98.2% guaranteed.

QB > RB

First off EVERY player knows when they sign a contract it is based on them making the team EVERY year. EVERY player also knows when signing a contract that the team can terminate the contract at will when and if they decide to. There are NO clauses in any player contract that gives them the right to not fulfill their contracts nor is there any section in the NFL by-laws or current CBA that allows that either. This all known BEFORE any plauyer signs ANY contract.
