Maybe this is the best thing that could have happened to EE

[manster4ever]

and the Cowboys. There's been smoke around this guy for a while now. He'll appeal and end up serving 2-3 games and maybe learn a GD lesson to straighten up. I believe the GF wasn't abused but it looked like a dysfunctional relationship that probably got rough. Pulling a woman's top down in public? Would get most of us arrested frankly. Let him get his wrist slapped and move on. JJ won't fight it like most of you think. He's softened over the years and loves his money too much.

Time grow up and act like a pro Zeke. I'm not the only one that's sick of this crap. Red's "RKG" mantra is beyond dead. It might be more hypocritical and laughable than MAGA. (LOFL)

 

[Sarge]

I hope you're right!

Couldn't agree more!

 

[Fizziksman]

only if it's cut to two games.

 

[WillieBeamen]

So:

- Lose 8M in guaranteed money

- Let your teammates down by being absent

- Destroyed reputation as a woman-beater


Yep, that sounds like the best thing to happen to Zeke

What makes you think there isn't another investigation/suspension coming?

Yeah, not a great thing to happen to Zeke, nor the Dallas Cowboys season.

 

[Silver Surfer]

I hope Elliot comes to the understanding that a smile and a polite answer will only go so far. He may have used up his "good kid" credits.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I totally understand where you are coming from, but this isn't a good thing. One more slip-up could result in banishment, and there's reason to believe Zeke was set up once already. It's a dangerous tightrope he's walking, and it's not even all his fault.

I agree with OP... Some people only learn the hard way.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Nope because I don't trust him at all and next time he screws up it'll be a year long suspension . After that he's banned from the league.

He did it. Play these games you have to be ready to pay

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Interesting thread......if we look at this in the so-called big picture of what we hope is a career, this isn't that bad. If Zeke plays in the NFL eight years, he would have played well over 120 games. Plenty time soak this up and have a fine career. I tell you one thing IF one of my players is going be suspended, I rather this than being druggy like Randy Gregory ( his azz may never step foot back in the league). I'd be real surprise this hasn't the living **** out Zeke and we'll see a different player and person going forward.

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

You have to be upset as a fan he put himself in this position. However, when you put it in context if I suspended an employee that had no ongoing legal investigation, but I made a judgement call 12+ months later because I didnt like his/her out of the office behavior, I'm setting myself up for a nice lawsuit. Innocent until proven guilty in the court of law, the NFL punishment on this is excessive.

Bruh Jerry aint GOING!

Yeah, never date, because a broad may turn out to be crazy and accuse you of abusing her.

Yeah, those people need to learn. Oh, and don't go to the bar, fights happen there. Stay inside at all times.

 

[CATCH17]

That's one of the only silver linings I could find. That and he'll be more fresh down the stretch.

 

[Chuck 54]

I don't think they set it at 6 games to cut it to 2. I'll be surprised if it's cut below 4.

 

[Nightman]

He is going to lose around 600k in base salary for the 6 games
DAL could go after 1.5m in signing bonuses- probably won't
Zeke loses the guaranteed status of the remaining 8m on his deal

Eye opening material

 

[erod]

I doubt Zeke is capable of calming down at this point in his life.

This doesn't feel like it will end well.
