That clown filed a lawsuit against the NFL. I don't think he has a chance of proving collusion. It seems obvious that indivual teams just don't want to deal with the distraction he brings because he's not good enough to make it worthwhile.

What distraction exactly? Kneeling? Jay Cutler and Blake Bortles are ten times the distraction for sucking the life out whatever team they are quarterbacking.

The media would hound the coaches and player constantly if a team signed him. It wouldn't just be the sport media but all the media knuckleheads would want to be a part of it.

The bigger issue is that he is not very good.

Kaepernick proved to be too dumb to be a good QB. Much like RG3 and those types where athletic ability can't overcome being a moron.

All I need to know is the kickoff time for Longhorns and TCU games.

No way I can give Zeke a 2nd contract with him already serving a 6 game suspension in just his 2nd year. If we finish with a top 5 pick I'm drafting Saquon Barkley. The NFL will suspend Zeke for anything now especially after he admitted to using some pretty serious drugs in college.

I don't think you can trust him in the offseason.
I hear you.

Hopefully he's just still maturing.

Dez was sort of like this in the beginning.

They had to get a chaparone for him for awhile.

He was a bodyguard more or less.

Time maybe to revisit that with the Zeker.

That is how I feel about it, just get it over with. Sink the cost, there is no way he will prevail. Let it taint just one season.

I tend to agree with you my friend, Zeke should just take it and be done with it but I understand him wanting to fight it.

Being labeled a woman beater is a dam shame if he is innocent, that is the type of label that will stay with him his entire life. He probably is going to lose millions on endorsements just being accused, such a dam shame.

That "label" is going to stay with him innocent or not now :(

It might be best to serve the suspension and let it fade away. I don't know what he should do but he will always be associated with domestic violence from here on out in the public eye.

Good point.................in the court of public opinion, a person is presumed guilty until proven innocent..............not right, but that is just the way it is.

Jerry really needs to turn the screws if he can on Goddell in his reup as commissioner. Ratings are down, attendance is down...this is all on the commissioner and reason enough for Jerry to ask for give backs. The next contract with the players will never allow the commissioner the power that he has now to rule In the opposite direction of the US courts.

On a separate note I am also betting that Jerry does not get the next draft
Yeppers! The N.F.L. has bigger fish to fry as Ford motor co. is suffering a boycott of its product due to it's advertising air time ran during games,C.B.S viewership is down 11% since January, dropped 3% in the last month and that's going to cut into the projected LEAGUE wide cash haul of 14 Billion dollars for this season,,, that's some huge revenue that states or some federal level agency should sink their fangs into and syphon half of it away from them as it's obvious that kind of money has destroyed the game,,, just count the number of flags thrown in a division rival game,,,they will be thrown continuously until the desired effect of dictating the tempo and direction of the game,,,,think about it? 14billion smackers? You wouldn't think they've got a Univac super casing-liner computer in the N.Y. command center running % outcomes and scenarios 6 ways to Sunday on the projected outcome of plays before they happen?,,, they consolidated it there for reasons of nefarious purposeo_O

If he doesn't get a save from the court in the form of another injunction, this is just another way to see what kind of coach Garrett is.

If he truly is a quality head coach, losing Elliott, while a blow, shouldn't relegate this team to a bottom feeder in the league. If this team can't win games or move the ball with Elliott out, that's another sign he's overrated as a coach.
Losing Elliot will be his built in excuse. Jerry will forget we were below .500 before Zeke went out and give Garrett yet another pass.:facepalm:

For the love of God...Zeke sit the **** down and let's move on. I bet we play better with some certainty to this situation even if Zeke is out. Zeke will be a better version of himself as long as he stays in shape mentally and physically.
