Tennessee Titans Move to Get Younger Amid Poor Performance
The Tennessee Titans continue their efforts to rebuild by parting ways with veteran safety Quandre Diggs, a move that highlights the team’s strategy of focusing on younger players. On Friday, it was announced that the Titans have officially released Diggs, marking an end to his tenure in Nashville.
Struggles for Diggs in Tennessee
Once regarded as one of the best safeties in football during his time with the Seattle Seahawks, where he reached the Pro Bowl three consecutive years (2019-2021), Quandre Diggs has struggled significantly since joining the Titans. In 2025, he has started just four games and failed to make much of an impact in his second year in Tennessee.
Despite his potential, Diggs’ performance has not lived up to expectations with the Titans. Over the past two seasons, he has managed to start only 12 games and has not recorded a single interception, which has led to this decision by the organization.
Timing of the Move
The timing of Diggs’ release is interesting as it comes after the NFL trade deadline. Most observers would have assumed that the Titans might try to get something in return for Diggs if possible at the deadline. However, there seems to be no market for a potential trade involving him.
Given his proven track record over the course of his career, it is expected that Diggs will attract some interest from other teams looking for help in the secondary. This move by the Titans ends what has been a largely lackluster run for the former Pro Bowler in Tennessee.
A Rebuild Strategy
The decision to release both Tyler Lockett and Quandre Diggs signals a clear strategy from the Tennessee Titans to get younger as they head towards a rebuild. The team is currently sitting at the bottom of the NFL standings with an 1-8 record, and it seems that management believes in giving younger players more opportunities.
For now, the focus remains on how teams will react to Diggs hitting free agency or being claimed off waivers. The next few weeks could be crucial as other teams weigh their options to bolster their defensive units for the remainder of the season.
The move by the Titans reflects a broader trend in NFL teams looking to rejuvenate through trades, releases, and strategic player moves. As we approach Week 10, fans and analysts alike will be closely watching how this decision impacts both Diggs’ future and the Titans’ performance on the field.
