Elliott, already under investigation for a domestic violence incident, and, in the latest off-field encounter, was caught pulling down a woman's top during a St. Patrick's Day.
Team owner Jerry Jones was cautious, but it seems as if his patience is wearing thin.
"There is not much that I want to say other than that was unfortunate and not good,'' Jones told Dallas.com. When pressed on whether anyone on the team has spoken to Elliott, he said, "I wouldn't want to say on communication, but I'm aware of the incident and I'm aware of the criticism."
For all of his on-field talent, the off-field issues are an necessary distraction.
