“This was crazy, Jordan has been having a lot of problems outside the building and, obviously, he brought them with him to work,” the Daily Mail quotes from a source present during the fight.
“There was no reason for him to react like that. It seemed crazy to all of us. Reacting that way is absolutely outrageous. We are glad that no one was hurt and that everything is over,” they added.
In a press release, the NFL team noted that there was an “incident” at the Tennessee Titans' sports complex facilities involving Jordan Elliott. In addition to the brief report, the team announced that it had fired him and that there would be no further comments on the matter.
In recent updates on what happened, the Daily Mail noted that Titans head coach Robert Saleh promised to help Jordan Elliott find a team with his toughest rivals.
Saleh alleged that the tackle got involved with a teammate and that the fit of rage and the fact that he went for the gun was nothing more than “a little cry for help” since he needs professional assistance.
“I will defend Jordan’s integrity (...) My message to the other 31 teams would be: if you need an exceptional defensive tackle to stop the run and who can help you in the playoffs, call me. He is a good man. He made a terrible error in judgment that I recognize more as a cry for help than a criminal act. He deserves another chance,” he noted.
