Via Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

Hannula’s first offer to the Cowboys left them speechless and had them thinking it was a misprint.

It was for top wide receiver money – think more than Odell Beckham but under the $22 million annually that Julio Jones just got from the Atlanta Falcons – and $110 million in total to make him the highest paid player in Cowboys history.

It was a detailed offer that supported every dollar by metrics and his importance to the team even though he knew they were going to have to come down.

Zeke ended up getting paid, but he was trying to get paid, paid.  And if Jerry Jones was running the show by himself he probably would have gotten it.
