In a move that’ll surely rile up SEC fans across the state, the Tennessee Titans have parted ways with a former Tennessee Vols offensive standout to make room on roster for a former Vanderbilt Commodores defensive star.
The Titans were assigned former New Orleans Saints linebacker Anfernee Orji off waivers on May 14, adding him to the roster ahead of the start of OTAs on May 27. To make space on the roster, the Titans waived running back Jabari Small, who stuck around on the roster through 2024 after joining the team as an undrafted free agent.
Orji appeared in 16 games for the Saints in 2024, starting two contests and logging 30 tackles with two TFLs. Despite growing up and playing his high school ball in Texas, Orji came to Nashville for college where he thrived, playing in 42 games across four seasons and logging 272 tackles. He led Vanderbilt in tackles as a junior and as a senior.
