That has no teeth, the players know that the new deal erases all past transgressions. All is forgiven.
Some assume Elliott wants them to lose without him and have to crater but what if they show they do not need him? He gets traded or outright released and is free to do his own deal.
glimm, I am of the mindset that he might want out and this as much to get them to trade him as to get a new deal. Is he happy in Dallas? Is he happy being a Cowboy? Is he happy leading the league in carries every season and being on a team so dependent on him. He equates that to years in the league and making millions, less might be more in his mind.
