Around the NFL: Offseason edition 2.0

He is who we thought he was, and we let him off the hook.

Ezekiel Elliott of Dallas Cowboys denies domestic assault accusation (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17124913/ezekiel-elliott-dallas-cowboys-denies-domestic-assault-accusation)

Another wow...Its funny if you talk to Cowboy fans, they have already inducted Elliott into the Cowboys ring of honor and replaced Smith as the all time rushing leader. Insane the amount of dap this guy is getting.

I don't like the cowboys but the domestic assault is most likely untrue. ESPN was saying today that Elliott saved text messages on his phone from where his girlfriend was basically threatening to "set him up", it might get the whole thing thrown out....

I wish in cases where the woman falsely accuse men, there was some type of justice served in return.

I agree, it smells like an extortion attempt. Zeke will play.

Btw he deserves the hype. Dude's going to be deadly behind that line. When we play them it will come down to out scoring them. Cousins will need to do work. I still like our chances.

Filing a false police report is a crime..

Sounds fishy, but should be lesson to zeke, watch them shady chicks. If you act like a mark for chicks, they will take advantage

Bell for Pitt won't play in our game, pleasant surprise

ESPN's Ed Werder reports the NFL is investigating a Periscope video which allegedly shows Raiders suspended OLB Aldon Smith smoking an unidentified substance.

The video is titled "Fire up session" and shows a lit, hand-rolled cigarette. While Smith's face is not seen on the video in question, his voice is clearly heard, and the post comes from an account which featured Smith on camera several times. A woman astutely warns Smith he should not be posting the video, but Smith says it is fine because "they don't have my name." He then says his name at the end of the video. Already suspended until at least November, this situation is unlikely to earn Smith any more fans in the league office.


This league is really full of stupid

Its unreal. Its just universally a bad idea to film yourself doing drugs, and the more you have to lose the worse that idea becomes....

agree, in fact I don't want to be on video or camera anytime.

Speaking of dumb, NFL reinstates Josh Gordon of Cleveland Browns from indefinite suspension on conditional basis (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17140776/nfl-reinstates-josh-gordon-cleveland-browns-indefinite-suspension-conditional-basis)

Looks like we could dodge another bullet because we play them the final week of his suspension. Im intrigued by him reuniting with RG3...that could be a good story of redemption for both.

Gordon looked like top 3 receiver in the league a couple years ago.

Ed werder:

Sources: Cowboys pass-rusher Randy Gregory has checked into treatment facility, won't report to training camp. Already suspended

That's how them cowboys getting ready for the season...rehab


********UPDATE***************


ESPN's Adam Schefter reports suspended Cowboys RE Randy Gregory has again violated the league's substance-abuse policy, and is facing a longer suspension.
ESPN's Ed Werder reported earlier Tuesday that Gregory was headed to drug treatment instead of Cowboys camp. Now we know why. It's a sadly unsurprising development for a player who entered the league with lots of questions about his off-the-field habits. It's probably best assumed that he won't see the field in 2016, which is devastating news for the Cowboys' wafer-thin front seven. Owner Jerry Jones could be getting awful tempted to give free agent Greg Hardy a call.
