EZEKIEL ELLIOTTRB, DALLAS COWBOYS

Ezekiel Elliott's attorneys released a statement claiming the former has been the "target of extortion."
"Over the course of the past several weeks, Mr. Elliott has been the target of extortion," the statement reads. "Kyle Johnson's filing of a criminal complaint against Mr. Elliott in connection with the Las Vegas incident is the latest attempt to do so." The full release can be viewed in the link below. Elliott has already been cleared of any violations stemming from the incident by commissioner Roger Goodell, but Johnson recently pressed battery charges following uneventful consequences. Any further action from his legal team is simply considered legal conjecture. Not in any danger of being suspended, Elliott remains a top-four pick across all formats this upcoming year.

Johnson said he decided to proceed with the criminal complaint after conferring with his father, who has a legal background.

"If I'd been there, Zeke would have been the next guy on the ground," his father Kelly Johnson told Fox 5 Las Vegas (KVVU-TV).

Johnson had a law practice in California but was disbarred in August 2017 according to the state's license records.

Pretty much protecting his child with that statement, and his dad told him to go ahead and get that check.. Free money for his embarrassment. LOL.

I disagree coz it plants the seed of reopening an issue that's been settled, especially since it appears the charges are being filed after Zeke refused a financial request.

It will get dragged out all year and hang over his head and the teams head, another dark cloud following him and ultimately he will settle out of court anyways.

This poor guy, he just can’t catch a break! He’s always just trying to mind his own business and people are constantly harassing him, I think we should set up a go fund me page for Zeke’s lawyer fees.

I just read that that the punk kid has been trying to extort Zeke, according to Zeke's lawyer...hope they have the evidence and this kid gets charged with a felony and his life gets destroyed...cannot stand punks like this. Maybe Zeke should sue him...

My question is if the LV police were on scene what was this punk doing near Zeke...my guess is he wanted to rub shoulders with Zeke and Zeke wanted no part of him...he got knocked down...the punk should take it a life lesson...move on. But punk kids can't do that these days...just whine, whine...

My thing is, why not have done it when it first happened or within that week. He waited and waited, someone whispered in his ears as the old R&B group the O' Jays old song "Money Money Money", for you old school 70's fans.
