LOL. Please let it be a really low offer so they don't accept.

His value, at the absolute most, is $4-5 million. If Stephen's dumbass brings him back for anything more than what is effectively a 1 year, $4-5 million deal, he can fuck right off.

And the only reason I'd rather do that than just cut him is because it'd save us extra against the cap with no impact next year.

Any NFL team that offers him 4 mil is beyond stupid. Let someone else do that shit. His value to me isn't even veteran minimum.

Ezekiel Elliott has leverage. If Zeke is released pre-June, dead cap hit $11.86M. Post-June release spreads dead cap hit with $5.8M 2023 and $6.0M 2024.

Im predicting Zeke comes back at $7M and and Jerruh considers that a win since he doesn’t need to exert effort finding a FA replacement nor spending a draft pick

That is anything but a win. This isn't a leverage situation. We shouldn't want him back.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. He's one of Jerry's favorite sons. Jerry will probably come out of it feeling like he got a still-great player at a discount price. :mad

I'm still hoping for the napkin/tablecloth and a Sharpie, though.

It's only a win from a cap perspective since it'd save us more against the cap both this year and next year, rather than outright releasing him.

The problem is the coaching staff's usage of him. If they use him as basically a glorified FB/short yardage back while adding another real RB to the fold, we're good, if they ignore RB completely and try to funnel him 15 carries a game then we're going to struggle if anything happens to Pollard again.

But what value does a 5-6 carry per game short yardage specialist have? Especially when he doesn't play special teams.

The money comes against the cap regardless. You're just shifting years. If you give him 7 mil this year, you're just eating up 7 mil more cap at some point than you would if you cut him.

Not costing us $5-6M in 2024.

:lol I think I see what you mean, but I meant what value on the field does he have? Next to nothing. So you're practically just wasting a roster spot.

I'd rather just have the hit be 6 mil + plus a 4-5th round rookie minimum cap hit and have a player who might contribute on game day.

He's still a good goal line back (12 touchdowns last year), but yeah, that ain't worth $7M.
