If he doesn’t want to take a pay cut, then he better hope he can rekindle some of his talent because he won’t get anything remotely close to a RB1 contract from anyone next year.
Draft a RB1 who you hope works his way to the top of the depth chart as the season progresses.
If the Bengals like Zeke and he’s OK as RB2 (neither of which is a given) and he’s willing to come in on a 1 year “prove it” contract, then sure, bring him in. I don’t get the feeling that’s what he’s looking for, though.
He’s looking for RB1 money, which the Cowboys wouldn’t even give him.
I don't know that that's true. He's looking for a team, or he will be out of the league. I want him, but I want him for his blocking and his goal line push. He'll have to take less to come here. But, that's the thing, for years Cincinnati was the joke, now players want to come here and chase a ring with Burrow. That's fine, but they're gonna have to take less to do it. Zeke can retire a Cowboy, having never been to a Super Bowl, or he can come here on a cheap 1 or 2 year deal to be the blocking back and chase a ring on his way out. I suspect he'd like a ring.
