There was never a doubt in my mind. If you thought Zeke was going to hold out from regular season games and miss game checks, you are out of your mind.
He just didn’t want to go to camp. Who wouldn’t rather train in Cabo than deal with preseason bullshit?
Well… 21 is back and it’s just in time.

The #Cowboys & RB Ezekiel Elliott agree on a 6-year, $90M extension that makes him the highest-paid RB in the NFL, sources tell me and @SlaterNFL. Roughly half guaranteed. In all, it's $103M over 8 years—the 1st Cowboy to eclipse $100M in total value, the richest RB contract.

Might be a little crazy for him to play this weekend, but if anyone can do it… It’s 21.
6 years 90 million is a long time and a lot of money. But do you blame Zeke for wanting Gurley money? Why should he take anything less?
Todd Gurley's contract:
4 years, $57.5M

$15.0M average annual valueElliott's contract tops Gurley in every category — length, total money, total guarantee, and AAV.

No, I don’t want to pay a running back this much money. But this is the best roster the Cowboys have had in almost 20 years.
Go out and do something special, and no one will care how much they are paying Zeke.
FEED THE MAN HIS MONEY!
