"Y'all said I need to get a contract done, well I did...." yes except it wasn't one of the 3 key contracts that you needed to get done, so big whoop-de-doo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I sympathize with Zeke's approach but it was always risky. If Pollard looks good week 1 then Zeke's leverage is all gone. If I was Jerrah - and realize I despise him - I would start playing some real hardball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it would go this long. Where are the Cowboys without Zeke, 8-8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the Cowboys without Zeke, 8-8? So....I think the Cowboys may be about to test the analytics theory that RBs aren't worth big money contracts. If it works and Pollard can carry the load, that's the end of the RB market in the NFL. I still think Zeke will be back by week 1 but I would relish the chance to see the analytics experiment play out. Could be that Zeke really is that valuable - I'll admit that upfront.

League_Champion Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Now it’s really heating up. I’m told the Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott are “very close”, and that they’re basically “dotting i’s and crossing t’s” on this deal, with hopes of having it done either Monday or Tuesday at the latest. 40 mins ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite LC's reporting Hope u have Pollard Update on Zeke Elliott and the #Cowboys: the two sides communicated in the late afternoon. Dallas is frustrated with the last exchange. After Saturday’s momentum, Cowboys expected more compromise to get a deal done today. Didn’t happen, so it’s on to Monday and a hopeful reset.
