The Tennessee Titans remain a team swirling in uncertainty, especially after firing general manager Ran Carthon on Tuesday.
The move has not only set off a firestorm on social media; it has many in the fan base and potentially even players contemplating the franchise’s direction. Tennessee appears rudderless, and there are even more questions today.
However, most of the attention was given to Colorado head coach Deion Sanders; Deion Sanders reacted to the Titans firing GM Ran Carthon, who reacted with a shocked emoji on X after the news broke. In many ways, it is understandable with his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, a potential target for the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft in April.
But some players joined in on social media, upset by the move. Rookie cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is one who jumped out with his frustration with the news that the team had parted ways with general manager Ran Carthon after just two seasons. Posting multiple things on X including one with the red flag emoji warning of danger.
Brownlee Jr. later deleted the post with a red flag emoji and followed it with a different tweet, but the damage was done.
On all accounts the players loved Ran, so not surprised to see these type of reactions… pic.twitter.com/TexIaS1R1u

Brownlee might be right; these are dangerous times for a franchise that has been extremely unstable in recent seasons. It would be an understatement to say things have been rough over the past few seasons, and their moves show a lack of direction and stability. Since 2022, the Titans have now fired two general managers in Jon Robinson and Carthon, and a head coach in Mike Vrabel. Not to mention the uncertainty this move places on Brian Callahan.
Maybe others should follow Brownlee and raise a red flag because this turmoil isn’t going to help the Titans solve the problems that led to a 9-26 record over the past two seasons.
