PRESS RELEASE

For the past several days the media has elected to focus on allegations of domestic violence
involving Mr. Elliot despite the Columbus, Ohio Prosecutors Office decision not to charge Mr.
Elliott nearly two months ago. As previously reported, the prosecutor's office conducted a
thorough seven-week investigation whereby in their own words they "dotted every I and
crossed every T" and concluded there was no credible evidence to file any charges against Mr.
Elliott. My office provided a mountain of exculpatory evidence demonstrating Mr. Elliott's
innocence and directly contradicting all of the false allegations contained in the Accusers two
police reports as first reported on July 22, 2016.

Yet the media has chosen to deflect the recent negative press regarding the NFL's reported
mishandling of several domestic violence matters by focusing on the NFL's prolonged
investigation of Mr. Elliott. The NFLs interview of Mr. Elliott was conducted over four weeks
ago and went unreported at the time as it was then, and still remains a non-story. It is league
protocol to conduct a separate investigation whenever there are allegations of domestic
violence by one of its players.

We firmly believe that the NFL should promptly close its investigation which is only open
because of their apprehensiveness stemming from the recent scrutiny it has come under for its
handling of other domestic violence matters. Notwithstanding the forgoing, we remain firm
that the NFL will clear Mr. Elliott of any wrongdoing and this matter can be finally put to rest.
