The Tennessee Titans have waived former third-round pick OT Nicholas Petit-Frere after three seasons with the team. Selected as the 69th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Petit-Frere struggled to solidify his position in the starting lineup, appearing in 34 games and starting 28 during his tenure with the Titans. Despite a promising rookie season, Petit-Frere faced setbacks including a suspension and injuries, leading to a decline in performance, with 10 sacks surrendered in 2024.
With the Titans signing Dan Moore and hinting at JC Latham's move to right tackle, speculation arose regarding Petit-Frere's future. The decision to release him will free up $3.65 million in cap space for the team in 2025 as they seek to enhance their roster. This move also presents an opportunity for the Titans to explore alternative options as they approach the upcoming draft.
