ESPN: Titans land New Orleans Saints favorite star in a blockbuster deal.
Under first-year general manager Mike Borgonzi, the Tennessee Titans have done a fantastic job rebuilding the roster this summer. Massive adjustments were required after the team had won three games the previous season, and Borgonzi had delivered exactly that.
Cam Ward, the team’s rookie quarterback, is undoubtedly the gem in the crown, but they also added a number of deviously talented free agents. The wide receiver room is much improved by Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson, while the defense needed veterans like Cody Barton and Dre’Mont Jones.
The Titans’ roster still has a lot of gaps, though. This is particularly relevant to Tennessee’s present lack of depth and defensive side of the ball.
The club made a waiver wire claim for a former Vanderbilt linebacker in order to offset this. Anfernee Orji, who was given the rights on Wednesday, ought to start in the team’s linebacker rotation straight away.
Orji played collegiate football in the state of Tennessee before signing with the New Orleans Saints in 2023 as an undrafted free agent. He appeared in 16 games for the Saints last season and had 30 tackles, including two for a loss, after spending his entire rookie season on the practice squad.
Even though he might not start for the Titans this season, he had two starts in New Orleans last season. Orji has the chance to be a key component of the Titans’ roster makeover, however it is somewhat unclear why the Saints dismissed him.
