NFL: Ezekiel Elliott sees shifting scale in player's worth
The NFL is about to start its season without one of its best quarterbacks (Andrew Luck), running backs (Ezekiel Elliott) and tight ends (Rob Gronkowski).
Three different stars not playing for three different reasons, yet enough of a commonality that this could be a milepost of sorts for where football is headed.
In the end it comes down to worth – the worth, especially financially, that the NFL can bestow on a player and in turn the worth, especially mentally and emotionally, a player bestows on himself.
Make no mistake, the NFL – and all sports – have long had early retirements (Luck and Gronk) and contract holdouts (Zeke). None of this is new, per se. This isn’t some claim that the football sky is falling.
