That would be one scenario that might make it happen. Lets hope.

Jerruh moves up to board chairman or something and retires to his new yacht.
Tag? Zeke shouldn't be a problem. This upcoming season is his 4th year and then Dallas can pick up the 5th year option. The Cowboys shouldn't have to worry about him until the 2021 season.

Yeah we don't have to tag him... But my fear is these imbeciles are going to "pay the man" early, lock him up long term while we have fat cap.

Yeah CZ had a thread up about it but they moved it, or deleted it. I think there were several people who heard the report so I suspect it wasn't a completely made up thing.
There are some speculating that Payton has the right to void his existing contract if there's an ownership change. I haven't seen that confirmed but it's been posted in several places. I don't know why they'd have hired Kitna as QB coach though if they thought Payton was coming, unless Payton ok'd it first.

More likely that Jerruh gets drunk on two bottles of Johnny Walker and goes overboard on his yacht in rough waters, and nobody can find him.

Until his drunk, bearded down to his knees idiot self stumbles in two years later right before we kick off the Super Bowl, firing Garrett's replacement, appointing himself coach and we lose by a fourth and goal interception...
I don't think Dallas needs to give him a contract. After 5 years put him on the non exclusive franchise tag and move on after that. Running backs don't have a long shelf life in most cases. No need to be breaking the bank for a 26-27 year old RB.

You know that, I know that, we all here know that.... Jerruh doesn't. He thinks every back we draft = Emmitt.

THE LOUD CROWD - 60,000 or so frenzied fans give Cowboys rousing send-off to game in San
Francisco

IRVING -- It was the largest, loudest and no doubt the longest pep rally in Dallas Cowboys football history.
For 2 1/2 hours Thursday night, a screaming, sign-waving crowd packed Texas Stadium to give their 'Boys a proper send-off west to San Francisco and Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
"This is what football and the NFL is all about,' said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Former Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach said the rally could make a difference on the scoreboard Sunday.
"I think if we'd had a pep rally like this we would have beat the Steelers' in Super Bowl XIII, said Mr. Staubach, who will represent the Cowboys at Sunday's coin toss.
Tony Dorsett, the Cowboys' all-time leading rusher, agreed.
"I think Roger's right, if we'd had this kind of send-off, I don't think we would have ever lost that game,' he said. "I don't think there's anything like this in the NFL, and I don't think there ever will be.'
The crowd was estimated at 60,000 to 80,000, depending on who was counting.
"It exceeded my expectations. This is the largest crowd we've ever had in Texas Stadium,' Mr. Jones proudly proclaimed.
Master of ceremonies and longtime Cowboys announcer Brad Sham told the throng it was 60,000 strong, but Mr. Jones said the crowd inside the stadium numbered 70,000 with an additional 10,000 people milling outside.
The pep rally featured a fireworks show, the prancing and dancing Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, country music by Southern Wind and Jerry Jeff Walker, a demonstration by defensive back Kenneth Gant of his trademark strut, and lots of short speeches from mayors, Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson and the Cowboys themselves.
The crowd gave Cowboy Michael Irvin bragging rights.
"We have more people here than most teams have at football games,' he told the crowd. "That's why most teams are home and we're going to San Francisco. For those of you I don't see in San Francisco, I'll see you in Pasadena.'
Mr. Jones said he was pleased with the showing. The fans couldn't have agreed more.
"I wish we had a bigger stadium to put more people in,' said Lina Reinhardt of Irving, who was waving a Cowboys flag and sporting star- shaped earrings.
Among the first fans to arrive were buddies Derek Milam, 20, and Michael Mosley, 19. Instead of the ever-present Cowboys jerseys and sweat shirts, the two Garland men wore blue and silver stars on their bare bellies and streaks across their faces. They took turns painting fabric paint on each other with toothbrushes before arriving at the stadium at 4 p.m. The two nearly hoarse fans said they expect their faces and bellies to be blue for a couple of days after they wash them.
"But it will be worth it if they win,' said Mr. Milam.
Twelve-year-old Bryan Savage of Garland also was blue. He used a paint kit he received in his Christmas stocking to paint his face blue and two white stars around his eyes. While some fans can claim to be longtime Cowboys fans, Bryan probably got the earliest start.
"I've been a Cowboys fan since I was born,' said the Rockwall student, who was dressed in Cowboys gear from head to toe and will be in San Francisco for Sunday's game.
His 14-year-old brother, Randy, admitted he didn't become a fan until Mr. Jones bought the 'Boys in late 1988.
Cowboys fans said they hope the team will be able to step out from under the cloud of the heart-breaking loss they suffered in the NFC Championship Game 11 years ago against the 49ers, who won on a spectacular touchdown catch.
"I think it's time to put that catch behind them,' said Mr. Milam. "That was 11 years ago -- that was another whole
generation.'
Mr. Dorsett agreed, saying there's only one thing the Cowboys can do to fix that.
"The boys have to go out there and finish the job that we didn't do and that's beat San Francisco's butt,' he said. "Since this thing has been brought back, that's the only resort.

Yeah the pro bowl is tailor made for Carrot's entire idea of football. Winning is far back on the list, well behind having fun, nyuk-nyuk and "innovations" like having your own star RB in there playing defensive tackle.
