The Tennessee Titans have been completely overhauling their roster this offseason in the first year of the Mike Borgonzi experiment. He took over as the team’s general manager after spending 16 seasons as an executive for the Kansas City Chiefs, and he is leaning on his winning experience to turn the Titans around.
Borgonzi started the offseason by cutting dead weight from the roster and freeing up cap space, which he used to sign several young players at key positions of need. Then, he turned around and made nine selections in the 2025 NFL Draft and added a handful of stout undrafted free agents.

Several of the Titans’ former players have found new homes this offseason, and on Friday, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported that two more players had landed on their feet. Former Titans offensive linemen Nicholas Petit-Frere and Andre Dillard both signed one-year deals with the San Francisco 49ers.

Petit-Frere was considered a bust for the franchise after being selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He missed almost an entire season due to injury, and he dramatically underperformed when he was on the field. Dillard only spent one season with the team in 2023, and he performed well as a part-time starter.
The Titans have invested heavily in improving their offensive line in recent seasons, and they have plenty of young talent. This made these players expendable in recent years, causing them to find a new home with the 49ers.
