One of three defensive additions thus far, the Tennessee Titans figure to have replaced one of their departed linebackers with the signing of former San Francisco 49ers linebacker, Azeez Al-Shaair.
With Tennessee desperately needing linebacker help after the departures of David Long and Zach Cunningham, the team landed Al-Shaair on a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, which was similar to Long’s.
I’ll be quite honest: the only San Francisco linebackers I knew anything about were Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner, two of the best in the business at their position.
As a result of those two, Al-Shaair flew under the radar outside of San Fran, but the more I learn about him, the more I love this signing. Let’s dive a bit deeper on the new Tennessee linebacker with six things to know.
