Every Virginia Tech Player That Made an NFL 53-Man Roster The NFL regular season is set to begin, with teams finalizing their 53-player rosters ahead of the schedule. While no current Virginia Tech players are on active NFL teams, several former Hokies have secured spots on 53-man rosters, with nine listed as starters on depth charts. This list highlights the contributions of Virginia Tech alumni who have transitioned to professional football. Bhayshul Tuten, a former Hokie, has emerged as a key player for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The running back, who spent his final two seasons at Virginia Tech, finished his college career with 1,159 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Tuten made an immediate impact in his rookie season, rushing for 307 yards and five touchdowns. His standout performance came in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers, where he recorded a 15-carry, 74-yard touchdown run. Tuten is currently listed as the Jaguars’ starting running back. Wyatt Teller, a former offensive guard, has returned to the Houston Texans after signing a two-year, $16 million contract. Entering his ninth NFL season, Teller has earned three Pro Bowl selections and two second-team All-Pro honors. A five-year starter at Virginia Tech, he earned first-team All-ACC honors in 2017. Teller is now the second-string left guard on the Texans’ depth chart. QB Tyrod Taylor, who played for Virginia Tech from 2007 to 2010, is entering his 16th NFL season with the Green Bay Packers. The ACC Player of the Year in 2010, Taylor has played for eight different teams, including a Pro Bowl season with the Buffalo Bills in 2015. He will serve as the backup to Jordan Love for the Packers. Joey Slye, the former kicker, has joined the Tennessee Titans for his eighth NFL season.#green_bay_packers #houston_texans #tennessee_titans #jacksonville_jaguars #virginia_tech
Seattle Seahawks Place Two on IR, Sign Three New Players The Seattle Seahawks made several roster adjustments on Tuesday, placing rookie safety Bud Clark and second-year offensive lineman Mason Richman on injured reserve due to injuries sustained during their preseason matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The moves effectively end the seasons for both players, while the team also signed three new players to fill open spots on their 90-man roster. The decisions came after the Seahawks’ 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans on August 23, 2026, which saw multiple key players sidelined. Clark, a second-round draft pick in 2026, suffered a broken ankle on the Seahawks’ first defensive snap of the game. He was carted off the field during the contest, marking a significant setback for the young safety. The injury occurred just days after Clark made his preseason debut against the Dallas Cowboys on August 15, where he recorded three tackles. Over his college career at TCU, Clark totaled 15 interceptions, including two pick-sixes, across 61 games. His inclusion on the Seahawks’ defensive back rotation was anticipated following his standout performance in college. Richman, a seventh-round pick from Iowa in 2025, also sustained a serious injury during the game. The backup offensive lineman was involved in Seattle’s opening touchdown drive, which led to his exit. Prior to the injury, Richman had appeared in just two games for the Seahawks in 2025, logging one offensive snap and 11 special teams snaps. His limited playing time highlighted the challenges he faced in securing a roster spot. In addition to the IR placements, the Seahawks signed offensive tackle Derrick Graham, safety Tysheem Johnson, and running back Justin Jones to bolster their roster.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #bud_clark #mason_richman #derrick_graham
Seahawks Place Bud Clark and Mason Richman on Season-Ending Injured Reserve The Seattle Seahawks announced on Tuesday that safety Bud Clark and offensive lineman Mason Richman will miss the 2026 season after being placed on injured reserve. Both players sustained injuries during the first quarter of the team’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in Nashville. Clark, a rookie second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, broke his ankle on the first defensive play of the game. Richman, a 2025 seventh-round selection, injured his right leg during the opening series while playing left guard. Coach Mike Macdonald provided updates on the players’ conditions postgame, stating that Clark would miss “multiple months” of action and that Richman’s injury was “major,” likely sidelining him for the entire season. The decision to place both players on injured reserve came before the July 25 deadline for teams to trim their rosters to 53 players, meaning they will not be eligible to return for the 2026 season. Clark had been running with the second-team defense and was expected to challenge starting safety Ty Okada for the starting role opposite Julian Love. Richman, a versatile backup, had the ability to play tackle, guard, and center, making him a valuable depth option. Macdonald expressed disappointment over the injuries, calling the players “great football players” with “great futures” and emphasizing the emotional toll of losing them. “It’s a heartbreaker, honestly,” he said, noting the team had already dealt with three heartbreakers during the week. The Seahawks’ trip to Nashville proved costly beyond Clark and Richman. Wide receiver Jake Bobo also suffered a season-ending knee injury during a joint practice with the Titans on Friday.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #mike_macdonald #bud_clark #mason_richman
Seahawks Sign Three Free Agents, Place Bud Clark & Mason Richman On Injured Reserve The Seattle Seahawks placed safety Bud Clark and offensive lineman Mason Richman on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after both sustained significant injuries during the team’s preseason game against the Tennessee Titans. The moves came as the Seahawks addressed three open spots on their 90-man roster, which had expanded following the waiver of running back Anthony Hankerson on Monday. The team signed tackle Derrick Graham, safety Tysheem Johnson, and running back Justin Jones to fill the vacancies. Clark, a second-round draft pick in 2026, broke his ankle on Seattle’s first defensive snap of the game. Richman, a 2025 draft selection, limped off the field in the first quarter with a serious injury that could sideline him for an extended period. Their injuries joined a list of setbacks from the team’s preseason trip to Nashville, as receiver Jake Bobo was also placed on injured reserve earlier in the week due to a knee injury sustained during a joint practice with the Titans. Coach Mike Macdonald acknowledged the severity of the injuries, stating, “We had two really tough injuries today. Bud has a broken ankle to my knowledge, the severity I'm not sure, but he's going to be out multiple months. Then we're going to try to figure out what's on with Mason, but we also think that's a major injury, a long-term injury. Two guys that we love that play our style of ball that are our type of guys. Teammates love them, great teammates, great guys, great football players, they have great futures. It's a heartbreaker, honestly. We got three heartbreakers this weekend, which is tough.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #mike_macdonald #bud_clark #mason_richman
Seahawks' Joint Practice With Titans Highlights Key Performances and Team Dynamics NASHVILLE—The Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans conducted their second joint practice of the season on Friday, with head coach Mike Macdonald emphasizing the value of the session despite the physical and mental challenges posed by the heat and humidity. The practice, held in Nashville, marked the third consecutive year under Macdonald’s leadership that the Seahawks have participated in such drills with the Titans. While the session included some minor setbacks, including an injury to receiver Jake Bobo, it also showcased standout performances from several players, offering insight into the team’s progress as the season approaches. Macdonald described the practice as a "great work day" despite the conditions, noting that the heat and humidity were slightly cooler than previous years but still challenging. He acknowledged that some players experienced cramps, but overall, the session provided valuable reps for starters. "We got a lot of reps in," he said, highlighting the controlled environment as a key advantage over preseason games, where starters might only get 20-30 reps. The practice also emphasized the importance of focus and discipline, with players and coaches reminding each other to prioritize execution over excess energy. One of the most notable performances came from rookie running back Jadarian Price, who returned to full participation after missing part of camp with upper-leg soreness. Price, Seattle’s first-round draft pick, made an immediate impact, showcasing his versatility in both passing and running situations. Early in the session, he made an over-the-shoulder catch for a big gain in a seven-on-seven drill.#seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #jake_bobo #mike_macdonald #jadarian_price
Cowboys Extend Quinnen Williams to Three-Year, $105.9M Deal The Dallas Cowboys have finalized a three-year contract extension with defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, securing the player’s future with the team through 2029. The deal, reported by USA TODAY Sports, includes a total value of up to $105.9 million, with $101 million in guaranteed money and $63.5 million guaranteed at signing. Williams’ average annual value of $35.3 million ranks second among NFL defensive tackles, behind only Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Carter, who signed a record-breaking contract earlier this offseason. The extension comes as part of a broader trend in the league, where defensive tackles have secured lucrative deals in recent months. The Tennessee Titans previously inked Jeffery Simmons to a historic new contract, which was later surpassed by the Eagles’ $105 million pact with Carter. Williams’ agreement underscores the Cowboys’ commitment to bolstering their defensive line, a key area of focus for the franchise. Williams, entering his eighth season and first full year with the Cowboys, has become a cornerstone of the team’s defense. The 6-foot-3, 312-pound defensive tackle has accumulated 343 tackles, 41.5 sacks, and 62 tackles for loss in 105 career regular-season games. His production has made him a vital asset for the Cowboys, though he has yet to contribute to a playoff victory. The team’s investment in Williams includes a significant trade during the 2025 offseason, in which they surrendered a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith to acquire him. Williams has been a key figure in the Cowboys’ leadership council, reflecting his growing influence within the organization.#philadelphia_eagles #jalen_carter #tennessee_titans #dallas_cowboys #quinnen_williams
Kyle Shanahan Addresses Car Accident, Injury Status Ahead of Preseason Opener Kyle Shanahan, the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, addressed questions about his recent car accident for the first time since the team’s training camp began. The incident, which occurred on July 14, left the 46-year-old coach with a range of injuries, including a concussion, three broken ribs, and a fractured left hand. Despite his condition, Shanahan confirmed he is “roughly at full strength” and plans to coach during the team’s preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. Shanahan revealed that he has adjusted his coaching responsibilities to focus on recovery, reducing some of his usual duties. He emphasized the importance of maintaining his routine, which includes reviewing game footage extensively and spending time analyzing plays after training sessions. “I try not to come in here every single day because I feel like, if I did, I wouldn’t be able to pull off my normal routine,” he said, citing the physical toll of his injuries. The accident, which involved his Tesla Model S, occurred when Shanahan was using the vehicle’s autopilot feature. He explained that he had dropped his phone and briefly taken his eyes off the road, leading to the crash. While he has used autopilot for nine years and considers himself “pretty comfortable” with the technology, he remains uncertain whether the accident was caused by a malfunction or if he inadvertently disabled the system while retrieving his phone. “Anytime you cause an accident that can be avoided, you feel pretty stupid, especially when you have a chance to hurt someone else,” he said. Shanahan clarified the circumstances of the crash during a private meeting with reporters late last month.#san_francisco_49ers #kyle_shanahan #tennessee_titans #tesla_model_s #nfc_titles
Chris Johnson Seeks Ice Bucket Challenge Revival Amid ALS Diagnosis Former NFL running back Chris Johnson, who played for the Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, and New York Jets, is urging the revival of the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) after being diagnosed with the progressive neurodegenerative disease. Johnson, who recently disclosed his diagnosis on "Good Morning America," is leveraging his platform to reignite the viral campaign that once brought global attention to ALS research. The Ice Bucket Challenge, which gained massive traction in 2014, raised an estimated $135 million in the United States and $220 million worldwide, according to the ALS Therapy Development Institute. Johnson, who has been using a speech-generating device based on his voice recordings to communicate, emphasized the importance of the cause during his interview. He revealed that his diagnosis occurred last year and that his case is classified as sporadic ALS, a form that accounts for the majority of cases. "There's no history of ALS in my family," he explained. "My doctors believe my case is what's called sporadic ALS, which is actually how the vast majority of ALS cases happen. That's one of the reasons this disease can be so shocking. It can happen to someone who never expected it." Johnson’s call to action came after he posted on Instagram, challenging former All-Pro running back Marshawn Lynch and former Titans teammates LenDale White and Adam "Pacman" Jones to participate in the challenge. He later shared Instagram story clips showing White and others being doused with water, highlighting the campaign’s continued relevance. The posts underscored his personal connection to the cause, as he aims to use his platform to educate others about ALS and its impact.#arizona_cardinals #tennessee_titans #new_york_jets #chris_johnson #ice_bucket_challenge
Patriots Release Joshua Dobbs, Promote Tommy DeVito to QB2 The New England Patriots announced on Monday that they have released quarterback Joshua Dobbs, moving Tommy DeVito into the No. 2 quarterback role. Dobbs, 31, had served as the team’s backup behind Drake Maye during the 2025 season. His release comes after the Patriots signed DeVito to a two-year contract worth up to $7.4 million, including incentives, following their decision not to tender him as a restricted free agent. Dobbs’ contract included a base salary of $3.2 million for 2026 and a $4.75 million salary cap charge. The deal also featured per-game roster bonuses of $25,000, with a potential total of $425,000, as well as a $75,000 workout bonus. The Patriots’ move to cut Dobbs and elevate DeVito reflects their strategy to prioritize cost-effective depth while building a more competitive roster. DeVito, now set to assume the No. 2 role, signed a deal with a base value of $4.4 million. The team plans to add a third quarterback later in the offseason, further solidifying their options at the position. This adjustment underscores the Patriots’ focus on balancing financial responsibility with long-term developmental goals. Dobbs’ most notable performance with the Patriots occurred during a 31-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans on October 19. In that game, Maye left the field early in the third quarter for a concussion evaluation, and Dobbs took over. On third-and-5, he completed a 12-yard pass to DeMario Douglas, setting up a touchdown drive that put the Patriots ahead 24-13. The team went on to secure the win, highlighting Dobbs’ ability to step in under pressure. Despite his strong showing in that game, Dobbs saw limited action in 2025, playing in just four games.#new_england_patriots #tennessee_titans #drake_maye #joshua_dobbs #tommy_devito
Bears to sign DL James Lynch The Chicago Bears are preparing to add a defensive lineman to their roster as they finalize a one-year contract with veteran player James Lynch. The deal, which was confirmed by multiple media outlets, will place Lynch under the Bears’ coaching staff for the upcoming season. Lynch, who has spent the past two seasons with the Tennessee Titans, is set to join the team after appearing in all 34 games for the Titans. During his time with the team, he recorded 45 tackles and 1.5 sacks. The Bears’ decision to bring him on board marks a return to the NFC North for Lynch, a region where he previously played as a member of the Minnesota Vikings. Lynch entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick in 2020, showcasing his skills during his tenure with the Vikings. Over his time with the team, he accumulated 53 tackles, two sacks, and a fumble recovery. His experience in the league and familiarity with the NFC North could provide valuable depth to the Bears’ defensive line. The move signals the Bears’ continued efforts to strengthen their defensive unit ahead of the 2026 season. Lynch’s ability to contribute immediately, combined with his track record of playing in all games, positions him as a reliable addition to the roster.#chicago_bears #minnesota_vikings #tennessee_titans #james_lynch #nfc_north
Titans Eye Jauan Jennings as Next Wide Receiver Addition The Tennessee Titans have shown continued interest in bolstering their wide receiver corps, with Jauan Jennings emerging as a potential target following the acquisition of Wan'Dale Robinson. Robinson, a former University of Tennessee standout, joined the team in early 2026, aligning with the franchise’s strategy to develop Cam Ward as its next franchise quarterback. His recruitment was seen as a logical move, given his track record and the influence of his former coach, Brian Daboll, who now oversees the Titans’ offense. The pairing of Robinson and Ward was viewed as a strategic fit, with both players expected to thrive under Daboll’s system. Despite securing Robinson, the Titans remain active in the wide receiver market, driven by the need to address a glaring gap in their secondary playmaker role. While Robinson brings speed and agility, the team is seeking a player with a different physical profile—someone with size to complement his explosiveness. Jauan Jennings, a 6-foot-3, 212-pound receiver, fits that description. His combination of power and route-running ability makes him an ideal candidate to pair with Ward, particularly as the quarterback continues to refine his game. Jennings’ potential return to Tennessee is further bolstered by his prior connection to the team’s coaching staff. He previously played under Robert Saleh, who recently joined the Titans as their head coach. This familiarity could ease the transition, as Jennings would already be accustomed to Saleh’s offensive schemes. The parallels between Jennings’ situation and Robinson’s are striking, with both players aligning with key figures in the Titans’ organization.#tennessee_titans #robert_saleh #wandale_robinson #cam_ward #jauan_jennings
Landing spots for top remaining NFL free agents: Jauan Jennings heads list NFL teams have been actively pursuing free agents this offseason, with significant deals already finalized. The new league year began with players agreeing to contracts totaling $2.3 billion in the first eight hours of free agency. Pass rusher Jaelan Phillips secured the largest deal of the period, signing a four-year, $120 million contract with the Carolina Panthers. The Indianapolis Colts retained both wide receiver Alec Pierce and quarterback Daniel Jones, with Pierce agreeing to a four-year, $114 million deal—the most lucrative for a wide receiver in free agency history. Jones, meanwhile, reportedly signed a two-year, $88 million contract, making him one of only four quarterbacks in NFL history to receive multiyear deals worth $40 million per season. Despite the activity, several high-profile players remain unsigned. Veteran pass rusher Joey Bosa, who led the NFL with five forced fumbles in his lone season with the Buffalo Bills, is a key name in the conversation. The 31-year-old has recorded 77 career sacks since his rookie year in 2016, ranking 10th in the league. The San Francisco 49ers, who struggled with a league-worst 20 sacks in 2025, could benefit from Bosa’s addition. The team also has former first-round pick Mykel Williams returning from a torn ACL, but their pass rush remains a concern. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings, an underrated talent with a career year in 2024 and a strong 2025 season, is another top free agent. The 6-foot-3, 212-pound receiver caught 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns in 2024, then 55 passes for 643 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025. He ranks second on the 49ers in receptions and receiving yards over the past two seasons and is tied with George Kittle for most touchdowns.#indianapolis_colts #san_francisco_49ers #carolina_panters #tennessee_titans #jauan_jennings
Roger McCreary, the new Detroit Lions cornerback, described his playing style as "instinctive & aggressive" during a recent interview. The 26-year-old, who was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 2025 after three and a half seasons with the Tennessee Titans, joined the Lions on a one-year contract following free agency. McCreary emphasized his desire to be part of a winning culture, citing the Lions' playoff aspirations as a key factor in his decision. McCreary's journey to the Lions began with a standout rookie season in 2022, when he started all 17 games for the Titans, playing both outside and nickel cornerback roles. His performance evolved over the next few seasons, with a shift to primarily slot coverage in 2023 and a reserve role in 2024 and 2025. Despite his contributions, the Titans' overall record of 17 wins over three and a half seasons led to his trade to the Rams, where he played a limited role during their 2025 NFC Championship run. McCreary's first playoff experience came during that Rams season, an opportunity he called "great for me." He highlighted the intensity of playoff games, noting the increased speed and pressure compared to the regular season. "Having that experience can help you in a lot of ways knowing how the game develops and how people attack you when it comes down to the wire," he said. This exposure, he added, has prepared him for the challenges of competing in high-stakes games. The Lions' decision to sign McCreary aligns with their need for depth at the nickel cornerback position, which became vacant after Amik Robertson left in free agency. McCreary expressed confidence in his ability to contribute, stating, "Any position they need me at, I’m ready to play.#nfl #los_angeles_rams #detroit_lions #tennessee_titans #roger_mccreary
Titans to Release CB L’Jarius Sneed The Tennessee Titans are parting ways with veteran cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The move marks the end of a two-year stint with the team, during which Sneed faced significant challenges due to recurring injuries. The 29-year-old player, who was acquired in a trade in 2024, will not be retained for the 2026 season. Sneed joined the Titans after a successful two-year run with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he contributed to their 2023 Super Bowl victory. However, his time with Tennessee has been limited by health issues. Over the past two seasons, he played in just 12 games combined, with only seven contests available in 2025. During that span, Sneed recorded 26 total tackles and three passes defensed. The Titans’ decision to release Sneed comes with financial implications. The team will save $11.4 million in salary cap space for 2026, though they will face an $8.1 million dead cap charge. Additionally, the move will free up $16.4 million in cap space for 2027, with a $4.1 million dead cap charge. These figures reflect the long-term financial impact of releasing a player with a multi-year contract. Sneed’s career has been defined by his defensive prowess. Drafted in the fourth round in 2020, he has accumulated 43 passes defensed and 10 interceptions across 69 NFL games. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses made him a valuable asset during his peak years, though injuries have hampered his consistency. The Titans’ decision underscores the team’s focus on addressing their defensive needs through more reliable options. With Sneed’s release, the club will likely explore other avenues to bolster its secondary, particularly as they aim to compete in the league’s increasingly competitive landscape.#kansas_city_chiefs #adam_schefter #tennessee_titans #l_jarius_sneed #super_bowl_2023
Titans Cutting Ties With 66-Game Starter Should Interest Eagles, Chiefs, Seahawks The Tennessee Titans have parted ways with veteran defensive back L’Jarius Sneed, marking a significant move in the team’s offseason restructuring. Sneed, who was acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs in a 2022 trade, was released after appearing in just 11 games for the Titans. The decision comes as the team seeks to manage its salary cap, with the release saving $11.4 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Sneed’s $76 million contract, which included a significant portion of the cap space, is now void, allowing the Titans to reallocate resources for other priorities. Despite his limited playing time with Tennessee, Sneed’s career has been defined by his time with the Chiefs, where he established himself as one of the league’s top cornerbacks. His departure from Kansas City in 2022 was part of a roster overhaul, and the team has since lost key players like Trent McDuffie and Jaylon Watson to the Los Angeles Rams. This has left the Chiefs with pressing needs at the cornerback position, making a return to Kansas City a logical option for Sneed. The Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, and Seattle Seahawks are among the teams most likely to pursue Sneed. For the Eagles, who already have Riq Woolen and Quinyon Mitchell in their cornerback corps, adding Sneed would provide depth and veteran leadership. His experience could be particularly valuable as a top-tier backup, offering stability in a secondary that has faced challenges in recent seasons. The Seahawks, meanwhile, could use Sneed’s presence to address their own cornerback struggles. With Woolen departing, the team may look to Sneed to compete for a starting role, potentially freeing up Devon Witherspoon to focus on his strengths as a slot corner.#philadelphia_eagles #kansas_city_chiefs #seattle_seahawks #tennessee_titans #l_jarius_sneed
Titans release CB L'Jarius Sneed, save $11.4M on salary cap The Tennessee Titans officially released cornerback L'Jarius Sneed on Friday, a decision that will free up $11.4 million in salary cap space. The move marks the end of a two-year tenure with the team, during which Sneed faced significant challenges staying on the field due to recurring injuries. Sneed, who had signed a four-year, $76 million contract in 2024 as part of a trade from the Kansas City Chiefs, appeared in just 12 games over his time with the Titans. His career with the team was marred by a series of setbacks, including a knee procedure in May 2024 and a lingering quad injury that kept him on the physically unable to perform list at the start of the 2025 season. Despite efforts to recover, Sneed played only seven games in 2024, recording 26 tackles and three passes defended. A new quad injury during Week 7 of the season forced him to miss the final 10 games after being placed on injured reserve. The Titans have since bolstered their cornerback depth by signing defensive backs Alontae Taylor, Cor'Dale Flott, and Josh Williams during free agency. These additions aim to strengthen the secondary as the team prepares for the 2025 season. General manager Mike Borgonzi acknowledged Sneed’s struggles during the scouting combine, noting that the cornerback was still in rehab for his quad injury. "It was frustrating for him," Borgonzi said, "but he’s continued to work and get himself healthy." Sneed’s career included two Super Bowl championships with the Chiefs, where he was originally drafted in the fourth round in 2020. His departure from Tennessee underscores the team’s commitment to addressing its defensive vulnerabilities while managing financial constraints.#2025_season #kansas_city_chiefs #tennessee_titans #ljarius_sneed #mike_borgonzi
Tennessee Titans Continue Free Agency Push in 2026 Amid Ongoing Needs The Tennessee Titans remain active in the NFL’s 2026 free agency window, having made several key signings on Day 1 of the negotiation period. The team secured deals with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, tight end Daniel Bellinger, offensive linemen Cordell Volson and Austin Schlottmann, defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers, and cornerbacks Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott. These additions bolster the Titans’ defense with three new plug-and-play starters and provide quarterback Cam Ward with fresh options to build upon. Despite these moves, the Titans still face significant challenges. A gap persists in the middle of the offensive line, while the secondary lacks depth and the receiver and cornerback rooms remain underdeveloped. Edge defender remains a critical need, with the team failing to address it thus far. Notable free agents still available include offensive tackle Rasheed Walker, quarterback Kyler Murray, and wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Former Titans such as defensive linemen Jihad Ward and Sebastian Joseph-Day, as well as specialists Johnny Hekker, are also open for new opportunities. As of March 11, teams can officially sign players to contracts, marking the start of the new league year. The Titans’ free agency efforts continue to evolve, with additional signings announced throughout the week. On Thursday, the team confirmed the additions of Wan'Dale Robinson, Mitchell Trubisky, and edge rusher Solomon Thomas. Tight end Daniel Bellinger, cornerback Joshua Williams, and punter Tommy Townsend were also officially announced.#tennessee_titans #daniel_bellinger #mitchell_trubisky #wandale_robinson #cordell_volson
Titans 2026 free agency tracker: Offseason moves, signings The Tennessee Titans have made several key additions during the 2026 NFL free agency period, with the team focusing on strengthening its quarterback depth, bolstering its receiving corps, and addressing defensive needs. The signings, which include both veteran players and young talent, are expected to shape the team’s strategy for the upcoming season. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has joined the Titans on a two-year deal, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who previously worked with him during the 2021 season with the Buffalo Bills. Trubisky will serve as the backup to second-year quarterback Cam Ward, providing the team with a veteran presence in the offense. His experience, including a 31-26 overall record in his career, could influence the direction of the team’s quarterback competition, potentially signaling the end of Will Levis’ tenure in Tennessee. Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has signed a high-profile $19 million contract, positioning him as the primary target for Ward. Robinson’s ability to thrive in Daboll’s offense, where he recorded at least 90 receptions in each of his last two seasons with the Giants, makes him a valuable asset. His 140 targets in 2024 and 2025, along with a 41% first-down conversion rate on his 185 receptions, highlight his role as a key playmaker. While Robinson’s arrival may reduce the need for veteran wideout Calvin Ridley, Ridley will likely remain as a slot receiver, given his experience and reliability. On the defensive side, the Titans have addressed gaps at defensive tackle by signing John Franklin-Myers to a three-year deal. Franklin-Myers, who recorded 7.5 sacks in 2025 and seven in 2024, brings a strong pass-rushing presence to complement Jeffery Simmons.#tennessee_titans #brian_daboll #mitchell_trubisky #wandale_robinson #calvin_ridley
Final Predictions for Titans Uniform Reveal As the anticipation for the Tennessee Titans' new uniforms reaches its peak, fans are now focusing on final predictions ahead of the official reveal. The team’s offseason has been dominated by free agency activity, with significant roster additions under new head coach Robert Saleh. However, attention is shifting toward a visual rebranding that promises a fresh identity for the franchise. With the reveal set for March 12, this marks the last opportunity to speculate before the details are confirmed. The Titans’ rebranding effort includes a redesigned logo featuring a circular emblem in light blue and red, which has been spotted in various locations. This design appears to blend modern elements with nostalgic aesthetics, as the team seems to favor the past’s color palette while simplifying its overall branding. The logo’s shift away from the traditional "Titans" name and toward "Tennessee" suggests a broader move to emphasize the state’s identity over the team’s mascot-based branding. This aligns with the decision to remove the fiery emblem from the logo, signaling a streamlined approach to the franchise’s visual identity. Key details about the uniforms include the likely use of light blue as the primary color, replacing the previous red-and-black scheme. The team is expected to replace the word "Titans" on the jersey with "Tennessee," a change that reflects the growing emphasis on the state’s name. Additionally, the helmet and mask design may feature a white-on-white combination, maintaining a clean, contemporary look. The tri-star emblem, a longstanding symbol of Tennessee, is also anticipated to make an appearance, alongside traditional navy and red accents to complement the light blue.#tennessee #tennessee_titans #robert_saleh #march_12 #tri_star_emblem
Browns cut ties with 2-time All-Pro, former 1st-round pick as free agency begins The Cleveland Browns have released veteran offensive tackle Jack Conklin, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The move, while anticipated by some, has left fans reflecting on the reliability and consistency Conklin provided over the years. Conklin, a former first-round pick, was selected No. 8 overall by the Tennessee Titans in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Michigan State. The Browns acquired him ahead of the 2020 season, and after four seasons with the Titans, he spent the next six years as a cornerstone right tackle for Cleveland. During his tenure with the Browns, Conklin earned two All-Pro honors, though his career was marked by recurring injuries that limited his availability. Throughout his time with the Titans, Conklin played in 57 games. With the Browns, he matched that total, appearing in 57 games across six seasons. However, his playing time fluctuated significantly, with varying numbers of games per season: 15 in 2020, 7 in 2021, 14 in 2022, 1 in 2023, 12 in 2024, and 8 in 2025. Despite these inconsistencies, Conklin remained a dependable presence when healthy, contributing to the Browns’ offensive line. The Browns have made multiple changes to their offensive line this offseason, signaling a shift toward rebuilding the unit. With Conklin’s departure, the team is moving forward with a new group of players, hoping for greater stability and longevity. While Conklin’s future remains uncertain, his time with the Browns has been described as a mix of challenges and contributions. His release marks the end of a chapter for the veteran tackle, who will now seek opportunities elsewhere in the league.#michigan_state #nfl_network #tennessee_titans #cleveland_browns #jack_conklin
