Speaking of zoner esque stuff... Of course they made their money while here. He's talking about at the end of their time here in Dallas. They wanted more than we were willing to pay, and rightfully so. Not that hard to figure out what he's talking about, especially if you're capable of comprehending the part where he mentions they were then CUT.
Yeah that is confusing. I forgot about the cuts of the other two.
Now its hard to figure out what you are talking about. "They wanted more than we were willing to pay". Dez wasn't up for a new contract, neither was Emmitt when (Parcells) cut him. Ware was a cap cut not a money (new contract) disagreement.
I was initially talking about Emmitt and the cut that was made in his final year. Even though he was still under contract his pay was considerably more than what his perceived production would be so it was a pretty difficult decision to let him go from a historical perspective, still he was cut and to me that was a hard stance. It was essentially an economic determination not unlike a new contract request.
There really isn't a moral aspect. Teams break them all the time. That's why it is so important for players to look at the money over the first 2-3 years.
I still think Zeke will show up. Both sides are just posturing at this point. As a fan it's just become annoying. It won't even feel good when Zeke is signed. It will just feel like a spoiled child got his way.
It is, the whole thing has become annoying to me because every other day there is some new report, someone getting offended or a new offer being made that is never accepted. I'd rather it all take place behind closed doors and when a deal is done announce the deal. Of course it's hard for that to happen when Zeke decides to hold out. You'll notice you don't hear annoying updates all the time on Cooper and Dak. Not that you hear nothing on their deals but it's nothing like the Zeke stuff.
I thought the saying was records were made to be broken.
Great job, Jerry.
I'm pretty sure he was talking about lightening Zeke's workload so that he'd be fresher down the stretch. I'm also pretty sure all teams that make the playoffs one year, assume that they're going to be there the next.
I have no idea what Jones was saying. Seem to me he just rolled out something to avoid saying there was no progress with the contract negotiations.
