Thought one of the benefits of a first rounder was getting them for five years, no?

They can still exercise the option fifth year.

 

[MrB]

Yea the team still has the 5th year option.

 

[SixisBetter]

Does anyone know if they can still use the 5th year option?

 

[yimyammer]

In what year do they get the 5th year option?

 

[ZeroClub]

The four year contract is for $24.9 million, guaranteed.

He won the lottery. Here's hoping the Cowboys did too.

2020 is a Leap Year, so it counts twice ... which many people find confusing.

They usually have a deadline just before the 4th year starts where they have to exercise the 5th year option. Almost always happens lately, unless your name is Morris Claiborne.

Actually, this past year a bunch of guys from that draft class didn't get the option. They had the entire list out a few weeks ago, it was pretty lengthy and had a number of the top picks.

I just ran into Zeke and Dak Prescott at Twin Peaks in Valley Ranch/Las Colinas. I'm always amazed at much smaller these guys look in person.

Was Prescott busing tables?

Never too soon to start preparing for your professional career.

It was pretty funny how none of the girls were really paying any attention to him. All their attention was on Zeke. I guess they could smell who has the money.

They were intimidated looking into his hawk eyes.

wrong pants, dummy

 

[ZeroClub]

Zeke is obsessed with the belly play.

 

[Midswat]

Yeah, kinda weird.

And #21 on a Cowboys RB still looks terrible
