Makes you wonder if the NFL had MORE evidence he was guilty and threatened to go public with it, if he didn’t throw in the towel. One would think if you were truly innocent, you’d still be fighting to save your reputation.
I think it's more of a publicity issue. He wants it to sound like he is choosing to take the suspension instead of losing the court battle. Although he could have had another hearing in December, he'd have already taken 4 games of his suspension by then, so he really is better off now just to go with it and "drop the appeal" as if it was ever going to get him anywhere.
Plausible, but I think anyone with half a brain that wasn’t a cowboys homer or have him on their fantasy team, knew how this would end as the commish has the power thru the CBA, see the Brady case. The NFLPA knew this, Jerruh knew this, the lawyers knew this.
Maybe I’m off my rocker but I think the NFL had a mystery Trump card to play and that was more evidence against EE, that the cops either didn’t find or was found after they decided not to charge him criminally, or at least more to this than we are being told. There is something missing to the story IMHO.
