Tennessee has released defensive tackle Jordan Elliott after he pulled a gun in the car park of the team's facility.
The Tennessee Titans have moved on from defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, releasing him after he pulled a gun in the car park of the team facility. The decision was swift and sends a clear message about conduct inside the building and on its grounds.
Elliott's exit removes a rotational piece from the Titans' defensive front and leaves a hole in the interior line. Tennessee will now have to look at its depth chart and decide whether to rely on in-house options or search the free-agent market for reinforcements.
The full circumstances of the incident remain unclear, and the situation could develop further. Any league or legal follow-up has yet to be spelled out.
For now, the Titans have drawn a hard line. Elliott is a free man on the open market, but with this incident attached to his name, teams around the NFL will have plenty to weigh before deciding whether to call.
