Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe and offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola described a lawsuit accusing them of assault as "a blatant money grab" in a counterclaim filed Friday, the Tennessean reported.
Sharpe is accused of beating up Dante R. Satterfield outside a bar on April 27 while offensive lineman Sebastian Tretola served as a lookout, according to a lawsuit filed in May. Satterfield refiled the lawsuit in Davidson County last month, according to WKRN-TV. Satterfield is seeking $500,000 in damages.
The two players request in countersuit that a jury trial be held and that they should be awarded damages.
