Bubba Gump Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Well, at least he'll have no problem paying his lawyer next time he ***** up. No one is worth that much $$. Nice job Jerruh
billsfan89 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Zeke is 24 he will probably be productive for the rest of the contract which takes him through age 29. 15 million aaa seems fair for a top 5 RB.

You can’t judge shady solely on the rushing stats. He was one of our best pass catchers as well. Total receiving yards tell similar stories. That we had bad pass catchers means he stood out among peers in buffalo but not in the wider world of running backs. 2018: 28th among backs 2017: 9th 2016: 14th 2015: 24th we paid him as a top 5 back. He played as a good back but more middle of the pack. That’s why he’s no longer playing on that contract. He wasn’t a flop but he wasn’t elite Edited September 4, 2019 by NoSaint 1

As long as he's not suspended, which is a risk...a lengthy risk. Hope the Cowboys protected themselves for this. Zeke is most of their offense.
DCofNC Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 So what is the consequence for Jones saying screw the cap, Im keeping my guys?
ALF Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 5 hours ago, DCofNC said: So what is the consequence for Jones saying screw the cap, Im keeping my guys? The NFL's cap is a hard cap that the teams have to stay under at all times, and the salary floor is also a hard floor. Penalties for violating or circumventing the cap regulations include fines of up to $5 million for each violation, cancellation of contracts and/or loss of draft picks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salary_cap

Zeke did not sign away the rest of his time as a premier back at all. If he gets towards the middle-end of this contract and is outperforming he will simply hold out again.

GunnerBill Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I am sticking with it - The Cowboys will be the NFC representative in the Superbowl.
nucci Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 The cap will continue to increase which means salaries will as well.

The only context I would add is that he was our WHOLE offense. In isolation, he looked average. That is fair. But, it is not like their was any offense around him. His production accounted for a greater percentage of our overall yards compared to other running backs in their respective offenses.

He wants more than gurley, and I think he’s worth more and is a better player than gurley. I think the next RB to be paid this much though won’t be until mccaffrey 19 hours ago, aristocrat said: it's worth it if he's on the field each week and putting up top numbers in the league. if he is suspended or falls of a cliff it isn't. I think Zeke was overpaid on his rookie contract, much less the one he just signed. Was a stupid draft pick at the time and is a stupid signing now.

I think they're a 9-7 team....bubble playoff team IMO. I like the Saints first. I think this is their year.

You can’t judge shady solely on the rushing stats. He was one of our best pass catchers as well. McCoy finished better than 5th on the team in receiving yards once, and that was because we arguably had the worst group of receivers in the league. Even then, he still managed to finish 5th last year when that was still the case.

HappyDays Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 A top 3 pick and $15 million per year on a RB. No thanks. Are they also going to pay Dak more than Goff? If so we should make a serious push for Amari Cooper in free agency next year. Because Dallas can't afford him.
