Former Tennessee Titans left guard Rodger Saffold is saying his goodbyes after the team released him on March 10.
In a classy message posted to social media that embodied everything he was to the team during his three years, Saffold thanked his former teammates, Titans fans, and the entire organization.
“I want to take the time and thank the Titans Organization for taking the chance on me and welcoming into the Titans family,” Saffold wrote. “We have had many challenges triumphs and success together! I appreciate all the support I’ve had from teammates coaches front office and fans on and off the field. This was a place near and dear to me and I have 0 regrets of the blood sweat and tears needed to represent this team. I have always and forever feel that you do what’s best for the team. This is no different and when I say I am overjoyed by the achievements of my teammates and the young men I’ve seen grow up along the way, it knows no bounds. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you! #TitanUp.”

Saffold’s time in Nashville will be remembered fondly. He was a key (and very good) contributor for Tennessee, as well as a leader in the locker room and an overall great representative for the organization.
Letting Saffold go was a move the Titans had to make, but when you consider what the team is losing, it makes his exit bittersweet.
