The Facts: Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones doesn't believe that the NFL will take any action against Elliott for his role in an incident involving security guards at a Las Vegas music festival last weekend. "I think that the main thing is that I don't see anything that needs supporting," Jones said Thursday. "In terms of his status with us, [it] has not been impacted in any way. And frankly, I know how conscientious he has been in the offseason, and that's good enough. No, I don't see that having any consequences for us."
Diehards Line:
Elliott was seen on cellphone video released by TMZ confronting a member of event security and using his body to push the man backward until he fell after hitting a gate. The running back was detained briefly early Sunday during the Electric Daisy Carnival at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He was handcuffed by police when he was detained but not arrested. Elliott's attorney, Frank Salzano, called it an overreaction by security after Elliott was seen arguing with his girlfriend. Earlier this week, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the Las Vegas incident would not have any impact on negotiations regarding a contract extension. The Joneses and coach Jason Garrett have lauded Elliott's growth since his last suspension. "I think that he certainly has had a great offseason, had a great year last year, and I think that'll speak for itself,"쳌 Jerry Jones said. "So I think that, yes, his overall career at this point is in a really positive place."
