#Titans HC Robert Saleh says Jordan Elliott having a gun was, in a way, a “small sign of a cry for help,” considering he had no prior issues and is a father and a hard worker.
Saleh referenced two suicides in the NFL over the past year and expressed concern about players struggling without getting the help they need.
“These kids go through a lot. I will stand on the table for Jordan’s character. My message to 31 other teams: If you need a hell of a run-stopping DT that can help for a playoff run, give me a call. I'll tell you everything you need to know about him. He’s a good man. Had a terrible lapse in judgment.”View quoted post on X
Great explainer from @_EdScott on how Memphis basketball players are getting paid and Penny’s backstop guarantee. Smart!
Let’s review Penny’s decision to spread the wealth: He understands the value of paying players, already makes crazy money, shares $ to attract better players and to increase chances of winning & not get fired. Could backfire but this is a great market-based solution.

Not saying agents are blameless but the excessive fees are the direct result of 1) mischaracterizing the majority of NIL and 2) fighting unionization, which would allow for agents to be lawfully regulated.
Backers of the Protect College Sports Act contend if it becomes law, PCSA would hold agents of college athletes accountable, prevent excessive commissions and ensure NIL deals are paid out.View quoted post on X
