"Jerry, how close did you come to sitting down with him and saying, ‘Let’s work out a deal to stay?’" a reporter asked.
"Well, that was on the table, and you might say to some degree that hasn’t changed and won’t until he signs someplace else," Jones said. "I don’t want to leave him hanging, our fans hanging, or anybody, but I wouldn’t take any possibility off the table."
Elliott was rumored to be considering signing with the Philadelphia Eagles, Cincinnati Bengals or New York Jets.
So far, no deal has materialized.
