On Monday, former Tennessee Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan posted a picture to social media showing how the team dropped off his stuff after being cut last week.
The picture showed three garbage bags full of Lewan’s belongings were dropped off at his front door, with Lewan thanking the team for doing so.
“Shout out to the Titans dropping my stuff off today,” Lewan tweeted. “They even let me keep the shoulder pads.”
Some took it as a sign of disrespect, but on Wednesday, Lewan took to social media and clarified in a video that the Titans did exactly what he asked them to do and told fans not to overreact to it.
For everyone overthinking the @Titans dropping off my stuff this is for you. pic.twitter.com/PtOwwfYcU4

Lewan, who was cut with a failed physical designation as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, said the Titans treated him very well and even let him choose when he’d be cut. He was complimentary of head coach Mike Vrabel and general manager Ran Carthon, as well.
Vrabel reiterated on Tuesday that the Titans haven’t closed the door on a reunion with Lewan down the road, but that the left tackle would have to get healthy from his knee injury first before that conversation can take place.
