For that matter, he won't be there for the NFL playoffs if this keeps up, which will kill Dallas' chancesIt's for game 9 only so more BS coming next week. He has managed to delay his suspension to the point he won't be there for you in the fantasy football playoffs.
Gonna disagree here.Sounds like the Zeke lawyers are trying to work out a compromise here. IMO, this would be wise for both sides....this is becoming another legal black eye for the NFL. Split it in half and go with a 3 game suspension and get it over with....
Yep the NFL holds the winning hand here and they need to play it out. You can't have employees calling the shots.

Elliott's hearing with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
The temporary stay granted to Elliott last week does not have an end date, meaning he will be eligible to play until the court hands down a ruling. The fact the hearing is so late in the week suggests the court will not have a verdict before Sunday's game, allowing Elliott to play this week against the Falcons. Of course, we have learned to take nothing for granted in this situation.
The first hearing in Ezekiel Elliott's "expedited appeal" before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has been set for Dec. 1.
In theory, it means Elliott could maybe have his ban overturned or delayed before it's through in Week 16, but the Dallas Morning News' Kate Hairopoulos — who has been all over the case — believes it would be a "fast process for whole thing to be completed within the six weeks." Right now, Elliott seems likely to serve all six games before the Second Circuit can decide on the merits of his appeal. That, of course, would make any victory more symbolic than anything else.
