They're probably going to drop Tyron smith in a year or two to cover everyone. His back isn't what it used to be.bonfarr said:
I wish someone would put a spreadsheet together with all of the salaries on it for the next 3 years so I can figure out how it all fits under the cap. Where is all the money cominflg from if we plan to sign Dak and Amari to extensions.

Basically a 4/$50M deal. Theyll ride him the next 4 years them either restructure or cut him.

Pick the team your interested in and then you can look up each year's contracts.

Jerry better pray it all comes together this year or next, otherwise they're screwed. The only way this contract is gonna be seen favorably is if they win a Super Bowl, which I still don't see happening. Not with Garrett running things
Yep. We're going to be a laughing stock if this doesn't work
Better keep drafting out of this world.
I'm glad the deal got done. I do expect Pollard to take a few extra carries this weekend as they bring Zeke up to speed.

The offer to Zeke isn't changing and includes 45 million guaranteed. He is getting bad advice.
I HIGHLY doubt that figure but if that's true, he really is as dumb as I think he is. Take the ****ing money.
That figure is accurate today as well as 3 weeks ago. It isn't changing.

So I assume there is a clause in there that nullifies how much is paid if Zeke gets in trouble/suspended. So if it doesn't work out, you just got to frame him with something to get him suspended and then you're out of the contract
Looks like you got pretty good advice. Avoid all of training camp and still got all the money
Well, we all said he wasn't missing game checks. Glad he's back.
I'll wait to hear the real details. He won't see the end of this contract. It will either be restructured or he'll be cut. In the meantime we can afford it. Don't forget the cba and cap will be completely void and redone in a couple years... could be a strike for all we know.
Cowboys are still being smart with contracts IMO, mostly because we aren't overspending in free agency. But they are going all in with their guys.

We generally have been for the last 25 years, what's a few more?
Glad he's back. And I realize he's "not in football shape," but dude looks extra chubby, even for him. Will be interesting to see how he's used in first few games.
The Cowboys get criticized either way. Let Zeke walk or sign him, not many will give them the benefit of the doubt. You dont see many franchises taking heat for locking up an MVP caliber player. Now its upnto Zeke to continue to live up to it.
Should have let him walk. Way too much for a RB.

Disagree. Zeke is the best player on this team. You
Let him walk and it's back to mediocrity with a team that has a real window of opportunity to win a championship.
Yep. Agreed. Way, way overpaid and they also became market-setters which Jones said they could not do. You just can't trust anything that comes out of that guy's mouth.FriscoKid said:

Only because of the big guys up front. They built the offense around the run and he happens to be the guy back there. He's good, but there are a dozen other guys out there that could do it too.
unfortunately those dozen other guys play for a dozen other NFL teams
With our line, you could get 70% of Zeke's production for a fraction of the price. That's the way to go, in my opinion.

Well that's a big assumption. Zeke proved this narrative false just last year with a beat up rag tag OL. This offense runs through Zeke. He makes everyone else better whether it be running the ball or in the passing game.
you let him walk and you have no chance of winning it all. This gives you a window of 3-4 years to work with. Take your pick.

Corbin is going to put up big numbers for the Ags too this year. It's just the style of offense that is being run. Being able to run the ball is a system thing most of the time.
Guys like Barry Sanders are an exception.
IMO of course.

Jerry is 78, he knows he has 2 or 3 years to get one more Lombardi trophy before he is dead or Al Davis senile so why wait? It's now or never
the cap goes up 10-15% every year and the new money doesn't even kick in until 2021. you have to strike while the iron is hot and this is the best team they've had in a very long time. letting him walk is an absurd idea.
I'm just gonna say that nfl fans ***** and moan when their team doesn't have any super stars and are terrible... and apparently they do the same thing when their team tries to keep their super stars!
Apparently Jerry is going all in, trying to get another SB before he dies. I see Zeke as absolutely necessary if the Cowboys have any shot whatsoever at a championship. However, I think it's a very, very long shot with Garrett as the HC unfortunately. Oh well....the life of a Cowboys fan....
Yep it amazes me how many Cowboys fans devalue their own stars.
Also factor in everything will go up, up, up under the new CBA, as well as a likely uncapped year between that.
Pretty sure there's no uncapped year under this CBA
Anyone have the exact details on the structure yet? As mentioned already, it's really all about the guaranteed money, the timing of it, and how the base salaries are allocated.
I read $50M guaranteed, and I think Gourley was like $45M.DannyDuberstein said:

That's what I've seen, but it takes more detail to figure out when the potential "outs" in the deal really are - which is mostly driven by a combination of when the guaranteed portion is being paid and what the annual base salaries look like. Also, sometimes that guaranteed number is misreported. My guess is is he got a healthy signing bonus upfront, and some of the early year base salaries in the deal may be guaranteed. But how much all that is would be the $100 million question.
