A couple of days sgo, my good friend R.J. Ochoa authored an article noting the speculation that Ezekiel Elliott could get as much as $14-$16 million per year in his next contract. Zeke is thought of as the best at his position along with one or two other players, so topping out the pay scale for the running back position is in line with conventional thinking. If the Dallas Cowboys follow conventional thinking, it would be a mistake.
Behind the scenes here at BTB, there has been a spirited debate among the writers about what the Cowboys should do with Zeke’s next contract.
