Man, the news coming out of the league office on Wednesday morning confirms some truly wild stuff. Former Titans defensive tackle Jordan Elliott reportedly went to his car last week to get a gun after an altercation at practice. This isn’t just a rumor anymore; the NFL essentially confirmed it, and it’s why the Titans wasted no time cutting the guy.
The League Is On It, And There’s No Arguing This One
When asked directly if Elliott was facing league scrutiny because of that gun report, an NFL spokesperson was clear: “Yes. The club promptly notified the league of the matter which is under review.” That’s the NFL basically saying, “Yeah, this happened, and we’re looking into every single detail.” It’s not some backroom talk; it’s official.
And why is it such a huge deal? A source from another team didn’t mince words, calling it an “egregious conduct violation to have a gun at an NFL facility.” Seriously, this isn’t a grey area. The rule about not having guns at team facilities, even in your car parked on site, is plastered everywhere. It’s not a secret. “You aren’t allowed to have one in your car if your car is parked inside an NFL facility,” the source stressed.
A Future Suspension Is Pretty Much Guaranteed
Luckily, what could’ve been a total disaster didn’t turn into a tragedy. But that doesn’t make the incident any less serious. That same source expects Elliott to get suspended if he ever signs with another team. Think about it, the rule is so crystal clear, there’s no way around it.
The message from the league is loud and clear for every single player out there: if you’ve got a gun, leave it home. Don’t even bring it to the facility. This whole situation with Elliott just reinforces that message in the starkest way possible. It’s about player safety, and the integrity of the game.
