If someone will give us a first a third, do it.
Cowherd says anything and everything that's on the hotplate and he thinks he's the smartest man in the room because of it.
Even though he gets so much wrong...
It's a weird thing, feeling you're super-smart because you can open your mouth.
He makes a compelling case.
I trade him for a first. I don't even need that good of a haul. I have loved watching #21 play in Dallas, however this guy... just doesn't get it. Fresh off a meeting with the Bozo in NY, possible suspension... and he wants a new contract. I don't care how close we are to a ring, you're not getting me like that when you've got two years left. Garrett always talks about the right kind of guy, the right kind of guy doesn't wait until 07/15 to start this crap.
Pay him AFTER his contract is up. Teach these young men to honor their word and commitments. Allowing these delusional kids to break agreements further stunts their maturity.
This is the part everyone seems to ignore.Exactly
I always shake my head when I hear this crap
If there is a contract both parties should (and have to) honor it
If “the owners can get out of the contract” then here is a news flash, that must have been part of the contract.
So why did you sign it? Oh, because you wanted the up front guaranteed money? Ok, now honor your part of it
This is the part everyone seems to ignore.
Within the contract there has to be clauses which state that clubs can cut players at any time and that the players are entitled to only the guaranteed portions of the contract.
So when player X gets cut, owners are not reneging on a contract. It's all part of the deal. And the players sign off on it ahead of time.
Owners cut guys and renig on deals all the time? Signing bonuses and guarentees they have to pay, but there's a lot thats not guaranteed on most contracts?
Can we teach the old men to honor their agreements also? Why are you only worried when the player breaks the agreement but don’t seem so upset when the billionaire owners do this?Pay him AFTER his contract is up.

Just because a contract is written one sided doesn’t change spirit of the action of reneging on the agreement. I get what you are saying 100%. But in a one sided business agreement this is the only leverage a player has to protect their interest.But that's not breaking the contract. That's the language that makes up the contract. That's completely different then just not fulfilling a contract. In fact, that's exactly the opposite of what we are talking about.
Owners always honor their agreements. Not sure what you're referring to.Can we teach the old men to honor their agreements also? Why are you only worried when the player breaks the agreement but don’t seem so upset when the billionaire owners do this?
Just like in real life from the other side also. This isn’t a charity business. Zeke brings money to the organization and for this he gets a portion of it in return. Just as teams don’t need to keep him, he doesn’t need to sell his services to them .Just like real life...Employment at Will, Fire at Will. The only difference is the guarantee portion contained in the contract. No one, as an employee,
is guaranteed another year of work. You have to earn it and Zeke has nearly burned his bridge.
Yes you are. You just pretend to be dumb.Owners always honor their agreements. Not sure what you're referring to.
I think a first is the most you’d get for him. If he didn’t have the off-field issues, and was signed long term you’d get much more.
Dallas won’t get his value back in a trade IMHO.
You're better off hoping to get a long term deal done and hope he stays out of trouble. Maybe have a behavioral clause into the new long term contract that affect future yearly bonuses?
He makes a compelling case.
Not true. Although you can find an owner occasionally agreeing to do something verbally and then not doing it, if it's in the contract, the owners do it.Yes you are. You just pretend to be dumb.
