Quarterback admits being upset at practice in London

The fourth-year quarterback did tell the players that they would receive a "scout team trophy."

However, Tannehill claims he did not make fun of their salary, as had been reported.

"I'm upset," Tannehill said Wednesday. "Honestly, it's slanderous to report things that, first of all, I didn't say. To put words into my mouth that I didn't say, to degrade my reputation and what I stand for, honestly, it's sickening to me. On top of that, just the fact that something inside the locker room gets out upsets me as well."
