Elliott toured the facilities at Brisbane and was also approached Melbourne over the off-season.
"I think the main thing, just on that one, is that Jamie Elliott at no stage said 'I want out'", McGuire said.
"He said he loved the club, wanted to stay, wanted to explore the options and was actually encouraged to explore his options by Ned Guy.
"Everyone was fully across what was going on... He did it in a very professional manner, and at no stage did he put the gun to anyone's head at Collingwood.
"Jamie is one of the best players at the club, he's so loved."
