That's about where I thought it would be. That's not unreasonable, but also not a discount.
Do you know the bolded to be true? I posed a question in the Gordon thread no one has answered.

I’m not 100% sure, but, while the situations are a bit different, the Steelers were forced to hold the cap space for Bell under the tag and were then able to carry it over when he never signed or played.
This is one of the weirdest things ive seen here in the last cpl days, and I’ve been in the politics forumThrow another couch on the dumpster fire
lawd, I’m getting more popcorn. I can’t look away. Cowboys might go 8-8 this year...
Yeah, I expected the hyperbole from the usual crowd but this hot take was outta left field.
I honesty haven’t felt this good about an upcoming season in awhile.
It's all about longevity. Doubt that Penguin can play the long game.
Shhhh....you are sounding too reasonable.
So you drafted an immature RB! turd 4th overall and now have poop on your hands because you go about business butt backwards?
Where is Jimmy Johnson when you need him?
You don’t have to look very hard eitherMr. Landry said:

The Steelers went into the year as the favorites to unseat the Patriots in the AFC and missed the playoffs without bell.
Of course i think the running game impacted their results. I think defensive injuries and a mediocre secondary did too but the defense was put under more stress because they didn't control games.
You can criticize Jerry Jones as owner/GM for not getting his team to the conference championship game since 1995. But one of his strengths is negotiating with players. Why is he playing hardball with Zeke? Because he needs to (due to the other contracts outstanding) and because he can (Dallas has 3 easier games at the start of the season). A good poker player makes other poker players make a decision for all their chips. Jerry has done this with Zeke. He did it in the past with Emmitt, and he folded when they started out 0-2. And the result of that was that Emmitt came back and the Cowboys won the Super Bowl. So if the Cowboys go 1-2 to start the season, Jerry may have to fold again and give in. But if they start out 3-0, then my guess is Zeke will come back with the contract Jerry has offered.So you drafted an immature RB! turd 4th overall and now have poop on your hands because you go about business butt backwards?
With Bell in 2017, the Steelers won 4 games on last minute kicks by Boswell. Without Bell in 2018 they won none that way and lost 2 on last minute misses (and had 2 others that turned on other misses). Bell's contributions to the kicking game were obviously a huge contribution that Brewer is missing.Welcome to Egypt! I hope your time in de Nile is refreshing and enjoyable
To the extent that any team can be said to be good because it had a strong running game, Dallas fits that statement.
I sure hope so. I, for one, am a little tired of top 5 players & this sort of thing.
How dare these professional athletes inconvenience you, the important fantasy manager!
Exactly. Thank you for correctly prioritizing the situation.
We can start with the fact that Zeke is, well, a running back. There's a reason players at that position have not been seeing their contract values rise along with the rest of the league, that more and more teams are moving into committee arrangements in the backfield, and also are generally more willing to let top-end players at that position walk in free agency than they are at any other spot on the field.
Exactly right. If EE won’t sign this deal then I hope they take all offers off the table.Exactly. Thank you for correctly prioritizing the situation.
I wish all athletes were like MJD, who not only played FF, but drafted himself 1.01 every year of his career.
on a more serious note, if the Cowboys are offering EE “2nd highest paid RB in the NFL” money, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for EE’s side of things. Gurley got a market re-setting payday, sure - then got hurt & showed why it’s silly to give a RB that much.
Most thorough article I have seen that takes the stance that elite RBs should not get elite money. I find it compelling, and I think all of the same logic applies to Gordon.
Of course, just like with Bell, the issue may be how much of that "2nd highest" salary is guaranteed.Exactly. Thank you for correctly prioritizing the situation.

True, but still irritating as a fantasy owner heading into a draft.
