To Elliott, it doesn't ring fair

When Bears wide receiver Jamin Elliott tells people he spent last season as a member of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, it has a nice ring to it. Now Elliott wants the jewelry to prove it, only the team says he won't get a ring.

 

"I was there, said Elliott, who signed with the Bears in February. "I earned a ring. I was part of that team."

 

Elliott played in one game for the Patriots and spent the bulk of the season on the practice squad. Elliott sent a letter to the Patriots and the NFL Players Association, and he said he plans to file a grievance.

 

But an NFLPA spokesperson said Tuesday that the awarding of Super Bowl rings to players who were primarily practice-squad members was "the team's discretion."
