If I was the Cowboys I would trade Prescott, sign Kaepernick to play this year and draft one of the qbs coming out next Spring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 No way in hell I give Zeke that contract. Dallas controls his rights for 4 more years and he is a RB. I'd reward him with more than what he'd get over the next 4 years without a big contract, load it with incentives and an out in 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with what QBs are getting paid these days, I don't see how teams are going to be able to manage a salary cap anymore (unless maybe your star QB takes way less than he's worth).

It will be interesting to see how Le'veon Bell does this year though. If he does well, I bet there will be other RB holdouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjbuddy Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 The details of the new Ezekiel Elliott contract are now in. First reports cited six new years at $90 million, added on to the already existing two years. Now, there’s more insight into how exactly the reported $50.5 million in guarantees is actually structured. As reported first by ESPN’s Todd Archer, here are the details of the agreement. The deal has just over $28 million in true guarantees, including a $7.5 million signing bonus, and an option bonus worth $13 million in 2020. His first two seasons of base salary are both guaranteed, too. Ezekiel Elliott: 6 New Years, $90M 8-yr, $102.9M total value 2019 Signing Bonus $7.5M 2020 Option Bonus $13M Year Base Salary Total Bonus Cap Hit 2019 $752.137 $1,500,000 $6,339.653 ($4,087,516 from rook deal) 2020 $6.800,000 $4,100,000 $10.9 million 2021 $9,600,000* $4,100,000 $13.7 million 2022 $9,725,000 $4,100,000 $16.5 million 2023 $10,900,000 $4,100,000 $15 million 2024 $10,000,000 $2,600,000 $12.6 million 2025 $15,400,000 2026 $16,600,000 TOTAL $82,452,137 $7,552,137 g’teed $20.5 million $107,039,653 If Elliott is on the Cowboys roster on the 5th day of the 2020 league year, his 2021 salary becomes guaranteed. If Elliott is on the roster on the 5th day of the 2021 league year, his 2022 salary will be fully guaranteed. Those are what I term escape hatches which afford Dallas some protection if things go sideways, either by conduct or by injury. More on that later. Richest running back ever Elliott went into the negotiation looking to surpass the money that Los Angeles gave Todd Gurley prior to 2018. Gurley was in the exact same situation; a fourth-year back and former first-round pick who had one year, plus the team-activated fifth-year option, two years of team control remaining. In total value, fully guaranteed money, total guarantees, average annual value, new money value, contract length, everything except value over the first three years of the deal, Elliott beat out Gurley. In February, prior to free agency and the signing of LeVeon Bell by the New York Jets, I predicted what Elliott’s contract should look like. A little over six months later, things came out almost exactly on par with that projection. https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2019/09/05/dallas-cowboys-ezekiel-elliott-contract-extension-breakdown-jerry-jones-todd-gurley-comparisons/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not after the Emmit Smith holdout years back. If Bell was on the Cowboys instead of Pitt, he would have received this type of deal. Jerry is too addicted to winning and its been a long time in between championships. So he would've over paid Bell as well. Totally agree. Zeke was on arguably the best team to holdout on for a mega-contract. Melvin Gordon, on the other hand, is on the uber cheap Chargers and has zero chance of this working out for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
