Titans Release OT Nicholas Petit-Frere Ahead of NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans have released offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere after three seasons, citing his struggles with injuries and performance, including allowing a high number of sacks and receiving one of the lowest pass-blocking grades among NFL tackles. Petit-Frere, drafted in the third round in 2022, lost his starting right tackle job and fell on the team's depth chart following a suspension and injury issues. The Titans' move saves significant cap space and marks another step in new general manager Mike Borgonzi's overhaul of the roster. To address offensive line weaknesses, the Titans signed Dan Moore Jr. to play left tackle, allowing last year's first-round pick JC Latham to move to his natural right tackle position, and added further depth by signing Brenden Jaimes, Sam Mustipher, and Olisaemeka Udoh. The team is expected to focus on selecting a quarterback, likely Cam Ward, in the upcoming NFL Draft. These changes reflect the organization’s commitment to strengthening the offensive line and moving on from underperforming draft picks.
