Former NFL lineman Joe Thomas tweeted that Zeke should get a 15-20% bump over Tod Gurley’s contract, Ezekiel Elliott apparently agrees as he re-tweeted Thomas.
The Cowboys have reportedly offered to make Elliott one of the top two highest-paid running backs in the NFL, but not necessarily the highest-paid.
We think that’s a good enough offer for Elliott to end his holdout, but Thomas clearly disagrees.
In terms of the Cowboys’ reported offer to Elliott, consider that the Jets’ Le’Veon Bell and Rams’ Todd Gurley are currently the NFL’s two highest-paid running backs.
