Twitter: Zeke posts on twitter in reply to official Cowboys tweet on Mike Weber

[Proof]

What is up with the angry emojis, Zeke? Holds out for his own selfish reasons, plus refuses to be happy for some good running by Mike Weber who also happens to be a Buckeye alumni of Zeke's.

think it’s more tongue in cheek / good natured like “wish that was me”.

I would understand if this were Zeke's last year under contract, but he's still under contract for 2 more years. Jerry has always taken good care of his playmakers.

Like he took care of DeMarco?

Lol its funny to see people interpreting those emojis as him being angry

I really do think that's what's driving this.

I'll side with ownership, especially if the rookies shine this preseason.

It’s a tough nut to crack. If Zeke gets serious with his holdout, are you really a better football team by spending that 15+m somewhere else?

The only reason I know it’s not
A negative is from seeing other NFL players use it, in clearly positive manners to encourage others to hype themselves up for games. I think the “hot boyz” used it quite a bit last year.

Demarco had finished his 4th year, but only had 1 fully healthy season (his last). Cowboys offered him a new contract but less than what Demarco demanded. Demarco left on his own. Cowboys were willing to take care of him, but he left for more money elsewhere. That was on him, not the team. Zeke is still under contract.

Zeke is better than Dak!!! Y Que?

If your rookies move the chains and help get TDs and wins, absolutely.

Not only that but

1. They offered him a 4 year extension after the 2013 season and he literally said "no I want to jack my value up/gamble this year".
and
2. Cowboys offer at the end of the 2014 season was exactly in line with the two other bidders at the time (Oakland and Jacksonville). Philly literally came out of nowhere and almost doubled what all 3 teams offered. There's nothing the cowboys can do when a front office/head coach that ended up FIRED does stupid impulse buying like that

Does anyone remember how that first year worked out for murray after he left and stole that money from the egirls..

Dak is a man by honoring his contract and will soon become the highest paid player in franchise history. Not Zeke.

Here’s the thing:

We have had many posters advocating that the cowboys “run Zeke into the ground” and then don’t resign him when his current contract is up.

that is a strategy that some people are openly advocating for the team to do, and there have been nfl teams who have done that to RB’s in the past.

Yet, some people are now surprised or upset when that RB holds out, to prevent that very thing from happening to him.

I’m frustrated by Zeke’s holdout too. And I don’t want him to miss games.

But I damn sure can’t blame him for not wanting to risk being run into the dirt and left on a scrap heap at the end of his rookie deal.

He has to strike while the iron is hot. I don't blame him.

Quit making false excuses. Zeke is under contract for 2 more years, not 1.

If it was any other position I'd probably be angrier.

Did you quote the right person?

Where did I mention how many years are left on his deal?

And what excuse did I make? There is no “excuse” Zeke is making the choice he is making and using the negotiating tactic he is choosing to use.

Gambling with the super bowl window though, that’s his leverage
