Are we to feel sorry for him because the NFL is his only revenue source:huh: clowns are usually good endorsements for a circus if he's looking for extra money:laugh:
Correct! He's competing with the commish to see which one can be the biggest clown of the league. At least Roger has the good sense to show up for work. :lmao:

All you have to do is google "Zeke Elliott endorsement deals" to see the OP made this whole story up. Zeke has several sources of income outside playing football. How many of you just believed the OP and didn't bother to verify the story? Zeke being a knucklehead just makes the story sound believable, I guess. :muttley:

Zeke is the kind of guy who can't go long without $$$. Strippers, parties, Vegas trips, luxury cars are expensive. His agent might front him some cash, but he's not going to give him the quarter mil a week Zeke would be getting from the Cowboys. If Jones plays hardball he'll eventually win, it's just a matter of how much the team is set back if he takes that route.

He signed with twin peaks in 2016. It’s like a hooters. I wonder if they kept him on after the suspension in 2017.

It's a stretch to think he's getting anything like the $$ Dak is getting for soup, or that he even still has any significant endorsements given his off the field history.

If he just keeps his nose clean and does his job, he will get opportunities. Look at Tiger Woods and Martha Stewart, people just love to forgive. Plus, that DV situation is still questionable and he can outrun that.

He does the Salvation Army donation and pays for that young man's funeral, he's not a bad guy, just an immature one that likes to party. Hell, I'm pushing 7 decades and trying to mature.

I don't believe he is a bad guy either. But the situations he finds himself in are choices. He chooses to make those mistakes. He has to live with the consequences.

He won't be able to blame everyone else for his screw ups. That is just part of being a man. I made so many mistakes in my life I lost count. A lot of them cost me big time too.
But, they were my fault. I never tried to make someone else pay for them.

If he didn't end up with a woman apparently as ******** as he is, along with his other stupid things he has done... he would be getting deals like crazy.

What is it with these guys anyway? They play a frigging game... Do you really have to make more than Gurley just because it makes you cooler?

I don't think 90% of these guys care about making it to the super bowl, just how many diamond studded watches they can buy.

Do you wonder, as I do, what kind of people base a decision off some celebrity endorsement? People must really call insurance companies because of Manning or Rodgers, experts in all types of coverage, continue making money from doing that.

My favorite was when Tiger Woods was spokesperson for Buick but when his wife chased him down and clubbed him, he was driving an Escalade. They should of had him do a commercial with his face all beat up with him saying "I should have taken the Buick. Buick, 0 to safety in 5 seconds. The preferred getaway vehicle for philandering husbands everywhere".

Do you recall how he looked at the draft? He was ready for "Dancing with the Stars". I hope he was able to buy the rest of that shirt when he got that bonus.

We do all kinds of analytics in various marketing areas online. Some of the things just amaze me... Like one of the Kardashians... one of the younger ones, I forget which one. They have some make up line... They release a lipstick or something and the server goes down form the amount of people trying to buy it because they endorsed it. You would be amazed at the number of sales that come from instagram endorsements, from people with big followings.

They are the same people that listen to the media / news without doing any research. They just take for granted these people are experts because of their social status.

Add to that is the short-term memory of fans and the general public. Given enough time, actors, politicians, professional athletes, etc are forgiven if enough contrition is shown.

And, no, I am not inordinately cynical... Mostly not.

David Irving does local TV commercials in the Dallas area...

The media doesn't go into a frenzy and call for boycotts of products supported by people that smoke pot. They DO go nuts on people that do bad things to women.
And I am sure that the contract signed by Irving was when he looked like an up-and-coming star DT and not a nutjob.

Unlike Dak and Jaylon, Zeke may look at his football monies as his only avenue make money. Others, like Dak, Jaylon, etc. seem to have ways to make money through endorsements/commercials and business opportunities. Therefore, they may see the benefit of what being associated with the Cowboys can offer off of the field and more willing to compromise on a contract.
Zeke on the other hand hasn't shown any tendency to be focused on business outside of football. His off field discretion's have prevented him from securing marketing opportunities. So, he may not think that just being a Cowboy will offer him much more income wise.
Zeke has made 22 million so far. That is more than enough to retire on. Why and how do people keep missing this?
