Might as well start this week off with a bang.
Zeke is dropping his appeal and will serve his full suspension. This was always the way that it was going to go down. He could only put it off for so long.
This will definitely be something that comes up during the next CBA negotiations. But it might not be as big of a bargaining chip for the league as it might have been in the past. With the Brady and Zeke cases, the league has shown that the owners might not be quite as big of fans of the commish's power to discipline as they used be. Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft certainly aren't.
If the union is smart, they'll use that to their advantage, knowing that the owners likely want to change the power structure as much as the players do. It will be interesting to see it unfold.
