Dallas, TX – October 1, 2025

For years, Ezekiel Elliott symbolized power, grit, and loyalty in Dallas. But after his divorce from Tiffany Thompson turned into a two-year courtroom battle, the Cowboys legend proved he could fight just as hard off the field.

Elliott, who earned $75.8 million across nine NFL seasons, faced claims from his ex-wife seeking massive financial support. But forensic audits revealed Thompson had hidden joint assets and spent recklessly on personal luxuries without Elliott’s knowledge.

 

The turning point came when Judge Michael Rodriguez ruled that Elliott would protect more than $20 million in assets, including investments, real estate, and savings. Instead of permanent alimony, Thompson was granted only eight months of transitional support.

 

The decision marked a major win for the former Cowboys star, whose 2019 six-year, $90 million deal once made him the NFL’s highest-paid running back. Despite challenges in his post-Cowboys career, Elliott’s financial future is now secured.

 

Elliott broke his silence after the ruling: “I’ve carried the ball for my team and my family, but this was the hardest fight. Tiffany deserves her share for raising our family — but she cannot take it all.”

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
