just drafted him 3rd overall in fantasy... hoping the deal gets done.

If you think Melvin Gordon is dumb for turning down 10 million. wait till you hear this.. guy paid $40k to switch his jersey # from 28 to 25 for a team he now refuses to play for

not saying dumb but.... did someone turn the lights out?

[jtoler]

see still paid him just wasted everybody's time when he could have been in camp

[shadymcgrady]

I wonder how Frank Gore would peer review Zeke if the NFL had department evaluations

[EasyCover]

Is Jerry the biggest dumbass now that Al Davis is gone?

Dan Snyder by far. Signings of Albert Haynesworth, Adam Archuleta. Deion Sanders. Trading a Hall of Fame corner for

Clinton Portis. Signing Jeff George, Bruce Smith, Jim Zorn, Vinnie Cerrato, Bruce Allen.

I could go on forever.


From Warren Sharp:


This cannot be correct!!
Is this correct?

Out of the 52 players Bruce Allen drafted whose 4-year rookie deals expired...

► only 7 received another contract in DC
► only 1 received multiple contract in DC

(34 of the 52 are out of the NFL or FA)

Draft 'em & trash 'em. Gross.

jerry jones is doing great job cowboys havent won superbowl since 1996

at least hes making a lot of money

[JIBBBY]

Running backs are always a dime dozen. Not sure anyone one running back is worth HUGE money in this league.

I don't think Zeke is all the special to be honest.. He's good but it's all about the OL and busting open those holes for any running back.. I don't think Zeke is as good as Emmit Smith.

[JIBBBY]

[TheMoneyShot]

can only imagine how many clauses they will have to put in that contract to void the contract if he gets in trouble

Super post. He's bound to get into trouble.

[JORDANISTHEGOAT]

Highest paid running back to date if he gets the 90 mil over 6 yrs.

Even Jared Goff got paid and he's trash.

Melvin Gordon has got to be thinking what the hell went wrong. Chargers told him to go eff himself after he tried to negotiate 14 mil per yr from their initial 10

hood should be in jail not getting rewarded with $90 million

dude are you hug ? Emmitt smith was average he ran behind HOGS ! if Payton ran behind that offensive line he would have even more yards. SMITH was a product of some big all pro

Excellent point, Jones has the thickest skin when it comes to off the field issues

[DOM-Ganador]

Say he does sign 6/90.
We all know this ain`t the NBA.
We all know there is 0% chance he is lacing them up in Dallas for 6 years.
With the upfront $$ and the stepped salary, how much will he actually collect??

JAY answered the ? 50 mil guaranteed. Extension is smoke and mirrors. Zeke gets his headlines, Jerry wins the deal I am sure.

At least $50 million. All that matters in NFL contracts is guaranteed $$. The rest, usually the back half of the contract, is just for fluff and re-working deals.

Hasn’t Melvin Gordon only been healthy one full season? He doesn’t have much leverage to ask for a monster deal. He should have taken the $10 mil per they offered.

The Dallas Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott have agreed on a $90 million, six-year contract extension that will make him the NFL’s highest-paid running back and end a holdout that lasted the entire preseason, a person with knowledge of the agreement said Wednesday.
The breakthrough was finalized the morning of the team’s first full workout before Sunday’s opener at home against the New York Giants. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been announced.
Elliott will get $50 million guaranteed. The $15 million-per-year average on the extension surpasses the $14.4 million Todd Gurley got from the Los Angeles Rams last summer. Gurley’s guarantee was $45 million.
The 41-day standoff between Dallas and the two-time NFL rushing champion came with the Cowboys holding high expectations coming off their first playoff win with Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott. They’ve won two NFC East titles in three seasons together.
Although Prescott and receiver Amari Cooper are seeking long-term contracts in the final year of their rookie deals, getting an agreement with Elliott settles the most important issue as the Cowboys try to get past the divisional round for the first time since winning the last of the franchise’s five Super Bowls during the 1995 season.
Elliott held out with two years left on his rookie contract, at $3.9 million this season and $9.1 million in 2020. The fourth overall pick in the 2016 draft wanted to be the highest-paid back after getting those two rushing titles in only three years.
Even when he was suspended for six games over domestic violence allegations in 2017, Elliott still had the best per-game rushing average.
But the off-field issues were part of the backdrop as the stalemate dragged on, although owner and general manager Jerry Jones said more than once he didn’t consider Elliott’s issues a factor as it related to a new contract.
Jones jokingly said "Zeke who?" in response to a question from a reporter after a second straight solid preseason showing from rookie fourth-round pick Tony Pollard in Hawaii. A few days later, though, Jones sternly said he had earned the right to joke about Elliott after the 2016 All-Pro’s representatives took offence to the remark.
Over the next couple of weeks, Jones took an increasingly hardline stance publicly, finally calling out Elliott for not honouring his existing contract during his radio show last week.
But Elliott’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux, told reporters the sides were close to a deal after Elliott landed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Tuesday. Elliott spent almost the entire holdout in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Elliott rose to stardom as a sophomore at Ohio State during the first College Football Playoff following the 2014 season, most notably at the home of the Cowboys when he rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns in a blowout of Oregon in the championship game.
He wasted little time having an impact with the Cowboys, winning the rushing title as a rookie while Prescott earned NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honours after Dallas won a franchise-record 11 straight games and was the top seed in the NFC. The Cowboys lost to Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay in the divisional round.
After the addition of Cooper in a midseason trade last year, Prescott and Elliott got a wild-card win over Seattle following their second division title last season. The Cowboys lost to the Los Angeles Rams, falling to 0-6 in the divisional round since beating Pittsburgh in the 1996 Super Bowl.
The Cowboys kept just two backs behind Elliott when they made their final cuts of the preseason: Pollard and Alfred Morris, a seven-year veteran who was Elliott’s primary replacement during the suspension two years ago. Morris rejoined the club in training camp. They later added Jordan Chunn.

It's a business. Why do you think he is there? Return on investment.

And a less than stellar ypc, granted the line was shaky at best. He sees himself as Todd gurley, which even if true (definitely not) is still not the best model to emulate when negotiating being irreplaceable. Gurley was terrible before mcvay got to the rams

[JIBBBY]

Gurley and Melvin Gordan are better then Zeke.

Zeke is probably gonna end up in jail before the end of the season for domestic violence anyways. He's a known woman beater. Temper.

Gurley was not terrible before McVay although the Jeff Fisher offense was not exactly doing him any favors. He was offensive roy.

Gurley was not terrible before McVay although the Jeff Fisher offense was not exactly doing him any favors. He was offensive roy.

His 2016 season (the yr before mcvay) was 278 carries for 885 and 6 touchdowns. A mere 3.2 ypc. That's pretty fukking awful for a guy projected as the number one running back going into the year

[JayDr3am]

mevlin gordon is somewhere punchin the air

This is truly the land of the free. Guys can get away with beating women and kids while demanding more money as long as they are arguably the best at their respective positions
