Zeke wants to get paid. Period. If he doesn't come in before game 1, you can damn sure guarantee he's going to be hoping a trip-up at the start to give him more leverage. Someone would have to be one naive yahoo to think otherwise.
Glorify Emmitt all you want. But he had a 1st rounder's contract (which he'd held out right up to week 1 of his rookie year to maximize), and he was willing to sit out and watch the Cowboys lose while knowing no SB winner had ever started 0-2. Let's not make him saint emmitt vs awful Zeke. They are playing the same negotiating game - leverage a SB contender's aspirations for long-term financial security.

The offer to Zeke isn't changing and includes 45 million guaranteed. He is getting bad advice.

When Zeke signs his new deal will the money still be "unearned"?????
Zeke has outplayed his current deal.
The only real difference between Emmit Smith and Zeke's holdout was that the Cowboys had just come off of winning the Super Bowl.
Both players were the best players on their respective teams and both had led the league in rushing multiple times.
Emmit and Zeke both wanted to get compensated as the best at their positions.
I'm really hoping Jerry won out and zeke is coming to his senses. We haven't won anything yet as a team, zeke and Dak should take top 5 money for their position and be happy with it. Trying to be the highest paid at their positions will kill our ability to win.gigem1223 said:
According to the fan Zeke deal is close and he's flying back to Dallas tomorrow morning.

I HIGHLY doubt that figure but if that's true, he really is as dumb as I think he is. Take the ****ing money.

Hold out was probably more about skipping training camp than anything. Cowboys were always going to give a fair deal and he was always going to take a fair deal.
Great value for 6th round pick. Keep it up.PooDoo said:

The rookie has been outstanding thus far, earning an impressive 92.7 overall grade across 56 defensive snaps. He's also recorded two defensive stops and an interception.

I think Rush misses a lot of throws I don't think we have a backup quarterback
Thankfully Dak has been very durable so far. The complete opposite of romo.DannyDuberstein said:
Rush looked ok. He showed some good patience in keeping his eyes downfield in spite of protection starting to fail. I still think they are fcked if Dak gets hurt, but maybe less fcked than I've been thinking.
