“NFL Team Shocks Fans by Cutting Ex-Ohio State Star: What Went Wrong?”
Ever wonder how the NFL decides which longtime players keep their spot on the team, and which ones are shown the door? It’s a complex dance of performance, salary cap, and strategic planning, much like orchestrating a seamless play while also keeping an eye on the next big acquisition. Today’s news from the Tennessee Titans offers a fascinating glimpse into this world, as Offensive Lineman Nicholas Petit-Frere was released, shortly before the team is poised to select the number one overall pick in next week’s NFL Draft. And here I thought a veteran player’s draft status was set in stone once in the league.
Pettit-Frere, who has been with the Titans for three seasons, was recognized for his skills from his All-Big Ten and All-American days. However, 2025 was a year he let in 10 sacks. With the Titans grappling with a need for a stable quarterback post some doubtful selections, this is a move that intrigues. Could they be clearing the path to invest in new blood?
Mike Borgonzi, the Titans’ GM, was said to have quite the poker-face in Miami’s pro day stating: “Everything is still on the table.” Could they draft quarterback Cam Ward, to sit under the aegis of veterans like Will Levis.
Are the Titans gambling on young talent, or do they have unseen plays that defy traditional strategy? Well, we’ll soon discover if this move was a call to the future or just one of those unpredictable on-field boo’s. LEARN MORE.
Hundreds of new NFL players will realize their lifelong dream next week during the NFL Draft. Those players will be replacing veterans, and one of those veterans was released on Thursday.
