Its looking like Cowboys RB Elliott might get this entire suspension wiped clean

[Vrill]

This entire situation is interesting. Either way, Zeke will be there when we play them this season. Hes getting a big reduction for sure (rumor is down to 2 games) if not an out right complete wipe.

Its looking like Goodell went against a lot of peoples wishes when he suspended him. A lot of weirdness is coming out of this.

How so?

 

[Vrill]

How so?

Have you not been keeping up with it? Just google it. Its all over news websites.

 

[Vrill]

In fact, Breaking News is that his entire suspension is on hold. Meaning hes back to practice.

More to come.

The NFLPA says 0 games or we're going to court. So either way Zeke is playing this year.

Why wasn't this settled before my fantasy drafts!

In my opinion, being a European, it's absolutely ridiculous that a court has the right to decide over league matters like suspensions.

Wasn't that the case with Brady's suspension last year? I think they essentially ruled that Goodell had been given the power to suspend by the contract agreement, so it held up. I'm not sure why Elliot's suspension would be any different. It does sound like he's getting something of a raw deal, but I can't stand the Cowboys, so I have trouble forcing myself to care.

Yeah, the courts, at the federal level, sited the NFL players contract, saying that Goodell had the power to suspend players for just about any reason. The players need to address this in the new contract.

Brady took the NFL all the way and lost, and it took years. Elliot might delay his suspension but he won't get it reduced if he takes the NFL to court.

It's about legalities. The courts go by what was agreed upon in the players contract. A contract is legally binding here in the USA.

 

[Sky King]

The NFLPA is flirting with a violation of labor law (unfair labor practice) if they keep trying to avoid honoring an agreement that they themselves had signed with their eyes wide open. It's hard to cry "foul" when it's something that they had negotiated themselves. They have only themselves to blame for any clause that exists in their contract that they do not like.

Only until a player doesn't like the one he's got.

You might be surprised by it but a contract is legally binding here in Europe as well.

I grabbed him with my 4th pick. Not too shabby.

 

[OldSchool101]

I guess if he had his Appeal and his Suspension is wiped.. It's fair to condense this story and say "He got is A. S. Wiped" ?

 

[AmishMafia]

All I heard on Radio and on TV was about beating his GF. What about this?

This is ****** assault and he should be punished. NFLPA trying to defend this ******* should be ashamed. Have him sit at home, maybe he will grow up.

 

[elcid]

So do I draft him in the second round or not? I am live in 1 hour

Gotta weigh the risk/reward and make the call. I got him halfway through the 3rd and was thrilled about it.

You live in Europe???

 

[Sanguine camper]

The matter isnt decided but when the news first came out it wasnt too difficult to predict that that ******* Goodell would nuckle under to an even bigger ******* in Jerry Jones. Behind the scenes Jones is pulling the strings.

You live in Europe???

Yes, in Austria.

 

[Poppa San]

Yes, in Austria.

I thought that was by New Zealand or there-about?
