“The #Cowboys have offered RB Ezekiel Elliott a contract which would make him the second highest-paid RB in the NFL behind Todd Gurley, per @WerderEdESPN.”
Explain
@GailTheSnail if he gets hurt this year u think they pay him?
That could've happened last year
So was last year now or never, too?
By that analogy, every year is now or never
@GailTheSnail next year is his player option which is Melvin Gordon current state
He's not in the same position as Bell was, that's all I'm saying. What he's doing now is a terrible look for an already blemished look for Zeke
The NFL don’t care about RBs clearly
His off-field issues every year, then this to the guy who stuck by him through the shit. He's showing zero loyalty, and if Dallas keeps him this year, next year, and tags him for 2 years, his prime is over. He'll be 27 years old with a history of off field issues and issues with management
His agent is chasing that check and misguiding him
They use and abuse them on they rookie contract then toss them hush money
I agree, they run em to the ground and let em go. It's a tough position in the NFL, but he's not doing this at the right time
Why not now? There’s nobody getting paid soon so it’s clear he only has 1 contract to beat which is Todd Gurly
Cuz what does he have to gain right now? Misses out on a shit ton of money, and gets nothing in regards to stats to add to his legacy
If he doesn't get paid, and Dallas toys with him, he loses everything
@GailTheSnail he doesn’t miss out on money
At least if he's out there, he's making something, building a legacy
He's getting hit with fines all the time dude
Missing out on money
If he doesn’t play this year this 2 years remaining starts over
Right, but he's losing money
Stand your ground Zeke
We both are agreeing on the same principles, but just in disagreement of the timing lol
I rather lose money now than take a chance with the money hungry NFL
