Tuesday was the NFL deadline to pare the roster down to 53 players. For most players, that is met with relief after achieving their goal of making a roster. For others, it’s met with trepidation, as in many ways the roster is still in flux for days after the deadline has passed.
That was the case for veteran Titans’ edge rusher Rashad Weaver, as word has come out that he is being released post deadline.

After missing nearly all of his rookie season with a broken fibula and starting just four games in three seasons, Weaver was looking to carve out a role in the Titans’ edge rotation. A 2021 fourth-round pick out of Pittsburgh, he has accumulated 49 tackles (11 tackles for loss) and 5.5 sacks in 33 career games with the Titans.
This is the first of what could be multiple moves in the coming days as the Titans solidify their roster before the season opener. Stay tuned to Titans Wire for updates.
