I agree, he is clearly their best offensive player. He should get paid. But by pushing a deal now, while he is still under contract for two more seasons, he may complicate the deals for Prescott and Cooper.

"Hmm, maybe I could suit up at running back, or just take direct snaps and run?"

He clearly makes an impact to that team. Just look at their offense with and without him. Regardless of how anybody feels about paying rb's, they are significantly better with him.


Truth, they are way better with him...

He's still got 2 years left on his current contract ? He needs to shut up and play then, that's BS ....

Yeah, good for anyone who took Tony Pollard in an early fantasy draft.

I suspect Jerrah looks up his new-age triplets in due course. But there won't be much left over for defensive signings.

So let's see if I understand this. He will not participate in Training Camp, but will be there for the season.


Ok.

Yup, he isn't going to play in training camp anyhow.

If I'm Dallas I tell him we can look at an extension now if he wants. But nothing about the next two years changes. Give him a 3/$50M extension but only the first of those years is guaranteed at signing. Each one vests at the end of the following seasons. So he has to play out his remaining two years for all three of the extension to be vested. If he does that he can say he is the highest paid RB on new money and we have him locked for basically a 5/$65M contract. And money sticks around to pay Dak and Amari on frontloaded deals.

Could be. Then again, a large portion of that salary for the hold-out year gets reclaimed.

Good luck to Zeke, if this is really what he's thinking. The last such RB to holdout missed the entire season and was forced to sign with the Jets.
