I would trade him. The picks you would gain would be better spent on guys who weren't so dumb and immature.
That's where I am picking on Sunday. I am hoping someone else takes him before then so I don't have to make that decision.
Don't agree at this point. He is not signed with no news that anything is imminent or will get done. He could sit out the entire year. 1st round draft pick needs to be a given,
Sitting out an entire year does less than nothing for Zeke.
Agree that it makes no sense at all. But then again, Zeke has already proven (multiple times) that he is a knucklehead of the highest order, so you never know. LOL.
OK - I believe he already has lost game 1 even if he signs today and every day unsigned means more games lost/playing lost yet you want to draft 1.09. Makes no sense unless you draft Pollard..
I think he will miss 3 games max, if he misses any. I drafted him with the 4th pick which is probably high but I still think they will come to an agreement before the season. I did take Pollard just in case.
If looking for a general rule, I'd drop him half a round for every game he misses.
One that is obviously giving him bad advice. Or, more likely, he is giving him good advice, and Zeke is simply being Zeke.
Sorry if I'm not up on all the contract technicalities...but is Zeke's situation fundamentally different than Bell's that would put the chance at zero? Or is this just your hopeful opinion because you want to draft him late? Otherwise we've got last year as a very recent precedent.

Jerry would have paid him by now. Stephen Jones is the guy Zeke needs to worry about.
My three live drafts someone sniped him from the zeke owner each time. Somewhere between rounds 7-10 he went in each. I thought it was to high for the non zeke owners.
Those references belong in the Gallup thread. Keep it at "dog and pony" here, please.

Which is why the front office holds the best hand. They are playing this smart. Zeke stands to loose $240,000 per game. They start out with a weak schedule so he isn't likely to hurt them much by missing a couple games like Emmett did. He's playing week 1. Read the first sentence. Accrued years are used to determine free agent status. If he doesn't accrue he doesnt get to free agency.
Plus you're ignoring the 5th year option the cowboys have. And franchise tag after that. He's dead in the water right now.
I'm not ignoring anything. The "5th year" option is the 2020 year. The Franchise Tag only happens once he's a --- wait for it --- Free Agent. Which is the only claim I made, that he doesn't need the accrued season.
This is a weird one. It's in Section 8 of the CBA regarding players with fewer than three accrued season - which Zeke is not. So I'm not entirely sure it applies to him. If it does, the rest of the discussion is moot because he's not getting credit for an accrused season in 2019 anyway (but like I said, that's mostly irrelevant to him). Even if it doesn't, he just needs to not have the contract toll. THAT would screw him.
What's the definition of full play? Why would the cowboys activate him for a single game?
Full pay is anything the team is required to fully pay him for. NFI and PUP aren't full pay, even if a team chooses to they aren't required to, and games suspended don't count either since he's not paid. Obviously games he doesn't report for he's not paid for as well. Pretty much everything else is. IR, inactive, active DNP, they are all still full pay status.
Apologies, you're assuming he gets an accrued season in 2020. To get to unrestricted. That's not logical if he holds out entirely and is in the exact same situation next year, only as Steaddy put it, 3.85 million dollars poorer.
That's why I said he has to report for at least 1 game, so that it doesn't toll. I'm not sure why you're grinding on my posts so hard but I wish you wouldn't misrepresent my position.
