While the rest of the NFL has been tying up loose ends on the field to prepare for the start of the season, the inmates are running the asylum in Dallas. In light of All-Pro running back Ezekiel Elliott’s six-game suspension for an alleged domestic violence incident from 2016, Dallas’ own Dallas Morning News has illuminated the epidemic of violations and suspensions its Cowboys have brought on itself in recent years.
Since the start of the 2014 season the Cowboys are by the most suspended team, both in terms of the number of suspensions (16) and total games suspended (106). And it’s not even close. A total of zero other teams have lost more than 55 player-games to suspension.
