Good for the game here, raising the Running Back from the graveyard.

Jerry Jones has some respect for the game unlike the scumbag Rooneys.

Post the bet and where you agreed to it
It's an interesting bet, as they both said he will not sit past week 12. I'd say it comes down to the contract details. If its 15M per year then Jerry caved and Koy wins the bet. If it's heavily back loaded then Jerry didn't cave and Handi wins the bet. It's also possible there are contract void clauses for behavior, if so I'd say this also say Jerry didn't cave.

So who doesn't get re-signed now? Amari Cooper?

I agree he won't sit out until week 12. Jerry will fold by mid-October at the latest and give him his new deal.

Wanna bet?

Yeah sure

what was our first bet?

was it an avatar bet, or was their vCash involved?

Cause you have limited funds, sucka. Maybe one of the Eagles fans here will lone you some vCash to cover....let's say...$5000 fat stacks. I'm sure I can get @fordman84 to get the accounting right.

Zeke got the highest guaranteed and most per year. It's a cave. Extra cave due to the length which assures Zeke the Cowboys won't run him into the ground.

If the final two years hold 35 to 40M Zeke got exactly what Jerry was offering. Only a fool looks at only the final number of a contract.

There is plenty of money for all. I suspect there will continue to be no big money FAs signed the next few years, but they can easily resign all of their own. The only what that surprised me was L Collins. Still have M Collins, Jones and Amari to go. Crawford will be cut since more a role player now and save about $8M on next years cap

I can't figure it out from that. If that is the entire bet then I read it as you saying Zeke will sign by Mid-October and he obviously did, so I would say you win the bet if that is everything.

Yes he ate. He ate dak and coopers part of the pie
So many words, so few are accurate

That's with a full workload. I don't see how we risk him running a full load when we won't need it. I'd give 50/50 splits with pollard, so week 1 may be lower unless he just blows one open early.

He hasn't had contact though in months. This is a recipe for a season of hamstring injuries. I know he is tough and not injury prone, but how often do we see someone hold out of training camp and then get soft tissue injuries that season.

Just sayin, keep the handcuff. May be able to flip someone for Pollard this morning.
