It seems that Zeke has played more than 3 seasons, but that's all he has played. He's entering the 4th year of his rookie deal, with the team having available a 5th year option at around $9m base salary next year. This year he'll make a base of just under $4m, with a cap figure of just under $8m ($16m signing bonus on 4 year deal adds $4m annually to his cap). Zeke has been paid well for someone in their rookie deal to date. If I were Jerry Jones, I would hold firm that we will work out a long term deal after the season. If the player chooses to miss $4m in agreed payments, that is his choice.
