Ezekiel Elliott's violation of the personal conduct policy has dominated headlines throughout the 2017 NFL season, and finally we have some clarity. Today, the Cowboys running back decided to withdraw the appeal of his six-game suspension and serve the time that he has been putting off all season.
Months ago, Jason and Mike explained that the best path for Elliott was to immediately serve the suspension. This would not only minimize the distraction he caused, but would ensure that the most talented player on the team would be available when the team needs him most. Giving up on the appeals process at this point makes 'Zeke look guilty, and could very possibly be the main reason the Cowboys miss the playoffs this year.
