“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.”

@Tistri13 The players holdout if they aren’t happy. Otherwise, players wouldn’t be getting these max deals as frequently

So then the Bears decided, didn’t they?! Yes. Yes they did. The Bears did that, not the player. The player refused to honor his current contract.

@Tistri13 The player made it happen. Mack asked for a trade if the Raiders couldn’t sign him

You need to educate yourself on how these things work. Players do demand trades to owners.

And the owner/team can let the guy sit and not get paid when it is a limited career length.

@Tistri13 This has nothing to do with the fans. The fans are just spectators. It has to do with the employer and employee

Did I say that players don’t demand trades? Nope. Never did. Changing what I said again to suit your attempt at a winning argument.

@Tistri13 Right and lose the player. It happened to the Steelers with the L bell drama. Bell held out for the entire season and got the money he wanted and earned

A player can demand all he wants. Nothing has to be granted as they are still u set contract unless the team approves!

@Tistri13 you just said the “ The Bears did that, not the player” these are your words not mine

I don’t need to put words in your mouth to win a debate. I’m too good for that . So stop it with that nonsense. 😄

The Bears approved the trade and new contract. Yes. What part of that is false?

Your not. Not at all.

@Tistri13 The Bears approved the trade, but Mack had a strong influence in that trade happening

You’re …

It your , “your” is possessive adjective

And those are “your”words. 😄 🤦🏽‍♂️

Ur

@Tistri13 oh okay, I see now that you were correctly yourself. Nvm.

@TheFinalRoses you are missing the point here brother. How long was Mack holding off , remind me? Also, was it before or after Gruden got a 100mil contract so he was basically saying everyone to fuck themselves because I doubt Raiders had any money left. what Mack wanted didn’t matter, so why did it take Raiders so long to make that trade if Mack had a choice? they forced him to hold out because that was his only option, so where was the negotiation here? Your argument does not apply in this situation either. Also, they didn’t have a contract agreement the same as Zeke has, Mack has been in a game for 5 years and they were excersising the option year with him. Zeke has been suspended most of his first year and didn’t even play full season year yet. So what ground does Zeke have to ask for the top dollar? His only one good year in the game?

@TastyOrange I’m not missing any point. The Raiders did not want to pay Mack. They had enough cap space to afford him. However, John Gruden wanted to rebuild. Hence the Mack point is relevant. Secondly, Zeke led the NFL in rushing with over 1600 rushing yards his rookie year. Not to mention, he sat out the season finale of his rookie year. In addition, he had over 5,000 yards from scrimmage, 34 total TDS in two in a half seasons as a sample size, showing that he earned a max deal. It wasn’t just one year. What are you even talking about. If you are going to debate with me, please have your facts ready.

@TheFinalRoses one full year and you are not considering a personal character at all? For the top dollar for the guy who beats in women, great example to other NFL players who would feel they need to be rewarded. From your point of view, he deserves the top dollar. From a more human perspective, he is far from it. That’s a difference. I don’t remember Gurley or Mack having the similar issues. And yes, he only played one full season

@TastyOrange Doesn’t Floyd Mayweather beat up women and he’s box office??
