Adam Schefter reports that the Bears are working out veteran DT Jordan Elliott.
Elliott was recently cut for a gun-related incident at the team’s facility, which was under investigation by the league.
Titans HC Robert Saleh vouched for Elliott after his release and feels it was “a call for help more than a criminal act.”
“I will stand on the table for Jordan’s character,” Saleh said, via ESPN. “Unfortunately, rules are rules with regard to guns on property, and sometimes it’s far greater than the knee-jerk reaction of kicking somebody when they’re down.”
“My message to 31 other teams would be: If you need a hell of a run-stopping D-tackle that can help you on a playoff run, give me a call,” Saleh said. “I’ll tell you everything you need to know about him. He’s a good man.”
Elliott, 28, was a one-year starter at Missouri after transferring from Texas as a sophomore. The Browns selected him with the No. 88 pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Elliott was set to make $2.743 million when the Browns reduced his compensation to $1.7 million, with $1.5 million guaranteed. He finished out the final year of a four-year, $4,588,430 rookie contract that included an $897,041 signing bonus before joining the 49ers on a two-year deal worth $10 million back in 2024.
The Titans signed Elliott to a two-year deal worth up to $8.5 million this offseason.
In 2026, Elliott appeared in five games for the Titans and recorded 11 total tackles.
We’ll have more on Elliott as the news becomes available.
