“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.”

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

@TheFinalRoses then that’s your best argument. I pass on this discussion :/ good luck

@TastyOrange Zeke had two season in which he played 15 games. Which is virtually two seasons. He only missed 6 games due to a suspension, but not bc of injury.

@TastyOrange There is nothing humanizing about the NFL business side. Clearly, you have yet to form a strong point, so you leave. I don’t blame you. It’s for your own health

If I were him I would keep my mouth shut, play his last year and hope he doesn’t break his legs so he can transfer to his dream contract at some other team

@TastyOrange His contract has nothing to do with off the field issues. He has only been off the field for 6 games due to suspension. People in everyday jobs get suspended. It doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get paid

@TastyOrange he would have a 5 th year then they can franchise him so he could end up not being a free agent for 4 more years

Wow, you seem to know what’s good for my health. Are you a licensed doctor? You take insurance too?

@TastyOrange Right, and you aren’t educated enough about the subject to understand that it’s in Zeke’s best interest to hold out. Too much money to risk if he plays without a new contract

This seems like a dumb argument

@osmosis 🙏 thank you. Someone who actually understands the subject. It’s what happens to L.Bell. The Steelers wouldn’t give him a long term deal. They kept toying with him. Giving him year to year team friendly franchise tags to the point where he was getting underpaid. Not to mention, no long term security. Bell finally had enough so he gave an ultimatum and held out.

@TheFinalRoses are you insane ? Your whole argument is making it sound like poor Zeke is getting underpaid and overused. They offered him a second highest contract right now and The guy is clearly asking for more. You keep using other players who were not given this choice . Dude pick your fucking battles

@willjrush and your comment seems just as irrelevant as your contribution to this thread

@TastyOrange Bell did have the choice. Didn’t he hold out all of last year. Didn’t he lose a lot of money each game he held out? I believe that was all bell’s decision

All I said he need to consider his mistakes and personal character before saying he deserves to be paid too dollar just for being a good running back. Do you see Kamara or Gurley being suspended for this shit? And they played the game as normal human beings and not have sticks up their asses

@TastyOrange Zeke is getting underpaid. He deserves top dollar. Jerry has the money. Jerry is just caught up in Jerry World right now. Who knows, Zeke may end up taking the deal that is currently on the table

@TastyOrange you don’t have to be a great person to make money. All this character issue you keep bringing up is irrelevant. Around the NBA, Jordan didn’t have the best character, yet today he’s a billionaire. It’s not about your character, it’s about generating revenue. Can you be an attraction. Do you appeal to the consumer. Clearly he does. Despite the character issue.

@TheFinalRoses umm being competitive and vocally cocky is a little different from physically assaulting someone. Sad you have them at the same level there. You might have to learn some compassion buddy. But maybe it’s too late. I won’t waste my time.

@TastyOrange I gave you the Floyd Mayweather example. It doesn’t make them good people but they are a draw. That’s all I’m saying

I'm an impartial observer of this discussion. I have rendered a verdict. @TheFinalRoses is flawlessly correct. @TastyOrange must now desist commenting as he is incorrect. Good night.

I think Zeke will take this offer. There maybe some tweaks in the language or payment dates, minor details, that's all. Sounds like this holdout was worth it.
