Mat68 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I don't expect but 50 mil guaranteed. Imo it will be a 3 to 4 year deal. The last 2 years are fluff to make the contract alot larger than it really is imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping this news would drag out another 24 hours so I could sneak him in, but alas, he'll be top 3 now. From a non-fantasy perspective, that's a lot of dough to tie up at RB. He's great, but that OL makes him a top back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Not upset at this. Sammy Watkins got more per year in KC, and Zeke is 3 times the player he is, albeit at a different position. Should be interesting to see how they pay Dak and keep the oline together. Cooper is going to have to give them a hometown discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We've all seen the realities of slippage of the RB position since the 90's in terms of importance of the individual star lone workhorse model--this feels like a step back in time, before Billy Hoodie showed us all the ways of the RB by committee who have "hands" approach for the short passing attack...but hey, more power to the man for getting his! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 6 years. There are 2 years left on the deal. They are adding those 2 years to the overall money aswell. I've been telling a friend of mine for weeks who is a big cowboys fan to just give him a larger bonus up front. Structure it so he has a large total number he will never see and move along. 3 to 4 years from now restructure or trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then Dak might be the odd man out while the other two get paid to stick around. Either way, this puts JJ one step closer to being able to use the Franchise Tag to keep it all together for at least one more year after this one.

But will still leave me one more running back to choose from, though picking likely will still be thin as I'm picking 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them will get the tag - I assume it will be Dak. Not sure they can get away with not locking in Cooper after giving up a 1st rd pick for him.

BITE ME Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The Cowboys overpaid, but good for Zeke. Anyone who pays BIG money for a RB is insane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper is going to have to give them a hometown discount. The "albeit at a different position" part is key. Like it or don't, Zeke is playing a position that has been devalued in the NFL of late and where players are considered to have a short shelf life, while QB (and the WR who catch what they throw) have risen in value. In 6 years, he'll be what, 30? https://heavy.com/sports/2019/09/ezekiel-elliott-returns-dallas-cowboys-holdout/amp/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends how you look at it. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I understand people talking about how much $$$ he is getting(even though we don't know the exact figures yet), but he is easily a top 3 and elite RB in this league. A true workhorse who does it all. Those are the kind of guys that command more. That's just the facts. McCaffrey is going to get paid top dollar too you can bet. Saquon will top them all when it's his turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Not gonna matter if Dak isn't "the guy." That being said, they're a pretty well put together team and If Dak does turn into a franchise QB they'll be tough for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCbillsfan Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Good for Elliott whatever the money it ends up. Curious to see how Cowboys handle Prescott, Cooper and others because in a few years Bills will be in similar scenario of re-signing players. I guess it could start next year to some degree with White, Dawkins, and Milano regarding possibly extending one or more before rookie deal expires.

nucci Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 If we go back to Thurman, would those here complaining about the money have given Thurman a big 2nd contract or let him leave? His first contract was for 4 years so he would have been a FA after the '91 season...since RBs are a dime a dozen and grow on trees....just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably some sizable upfront money for Zeke and a huge contract number that his agent can tout to prospective clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
