Prescott fallout

[GeauxFins2020]

Other than having the best agent in the NFL, his contract also makes tagging a QB even more expensive.

However, I would inquire about some of their players, specifically Michael Gallup.

He's in the last year of his contract and he carries a 2 million dollar cap hit this year--which for most teams isn't much, but they're strapped. He's only 25 by one week.

The Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper and drafted CeeDee Lamb in the first round. That's alot of capital in one position. They have a lot of FA on defense. They might be compelled to make a deal.

Getting a player with a year left on his contract is good business...you either pay him, tag him, or get comped if he walks.

First move the Cowboys should make is look to offload Zeke and his contract. Pollard can give them most of what Zeke can, without the cost.

I think they have their one perfect opportunity to unload Zeke. Urban Meyer coached Zeke at Ohio State, the two of them really like each other, Jacksonville has a ton of cap space, and they are getting ready to start a rookie QB where a RB like Zeke can help take the pressure off.

Jacksonville doesn't have a need for Elliot. They just had the leading rookie running back last season with James Robinson.

That's a great point, I'd personally take Robinson over Zeke if I had a choice because of the the cost to production ratio. I don't see a sophomore slump in James's future myself. Being an S.I.U. alum I watch a lot of MVC football so I'm of course bias.

Robinson had a good season, teams use two backs these days, and the Urban factor

Hard to unload a running back at that salary. But I agree they should try.

Yep, that's all I'm saying, they should TRY to unload him first

There's no way Dallas can avoid perpetual cap hell with these bananas contracts.

Jerry doesn't care. He want one more before his time is called.

 

[John813]

I think they'll keep him for a "SB run" then let him walk for comp picks like they did for Byron Jones.

They are stuck in that win now mode, even though there's holes on the defense that will be hard to overcome.

Prescotts deal isn't too terrible as it'll allow them to restructure it to keep the cap hits down for a few years while they get the remaining prime years out of their offensive line and D-Law(DE).

And if the cap does blow up after the TV deals then the contract will look small after more QB's re-sign.

In the days of non guaranteed contracts cap hell is something a team really has to **** the bed for it to actually happen.

JJ is losing his mind on these contracts man. Is he forgetting there is an entire team other than RB and QB. I don't have time to see percentages, but that's looking like a huge portion of cap going to 2 players. Well beyond any other team.

For 2021 the total cap hits between Dak and Elliott is: 22.2mil+13.7mil=35.9mil cap hit.

Matt Ryan cap hit alone is 40mil.

Rodgers cap hit is 37mil.

Cousins cap is 31mil.

Zeke is overpaid, but the deal isn't too bad right now. Who knows how the cap is in 2023/24 etc...

This contract makes the 28m/year average of a traded Deshaun Watson's contract look pretty small.

Zeke has regressed the last two seasons and isn’t worth the money he has left on his contract. I can’t see any team wanting to trade for him at this stage of his career when his cap hit is close to $10 million dollars.

I will be surprised if any team is willing to trade for Zeke and that includes the Jaguars.

It even makes Tua’s rookie contract look that much better considering the Dolphins can continue to build around him instead of being hamstrung with a huge QB salary for the next 3-4 years.
