We discussed this in the XFL thread.

He was a starter, essentially leading the team in tackles and had a couple of INTs in 5 games. I'm guessing he either got himself in trouble or he got a call from an NFL team and is cutting his XFL season short to avoid injury. He was the best player on the DC defense.

I haven’t heard of any trouble. He’s been involved in the local community through his brother Abe’s foundation. I’ve known him since he was a kid. I hope he’s getting another shot.

If you got yourself in enough trouble that the XFL doesn't want you...

You related to him? This sounds like propaganda.

The guy was cut because he wasn't good enough to cut it. The idea of a backdoor deal with the NFL is laughable.

He had 8 tackles - as of halftime - in his last game. BMF is right on this one. It doesn't make sense.

CBS Sports John Breech reported that the cut caught Elam off guard. He wasn't expecting it at all.

Team was probably going to miss payroll so they had to dump some guys.
