The Tennessee Titans could be parting ways with a future star. Isaiah Wilson shocked the NFL with his social media activity. Now, the Titans’ front office must decide on whether they will engage in trade discussions for Wilson.
Wilson, in a now-deleted tweet, noted that he was done playing football with the Titans. Wilson was the 29th overall pick in the 2020 trade. However, he rarely got any game time, playing only for four plays during the season.
Eventually, he was frozen out of the team, being placed on the non-injury list. Prior to that, he had struggled with COVID-19 protocol, being placed on the COVID list during the season in October.

The defensive tackle caught a lot of eyes during his time in Georgia. By his sophomore year, he was named to the All-SEC second team.

Wilson played very little during the regular season for the Titans. The franchise appeared to lack faith in Wilson, freezing him out of the team toward the tail end of the season. Perhaps him being dropped from the team was the beginning of their relationship turning sour.

Wilson is clearly unhappy with the franchise, stating that he was done playing football for the Titans. However, there hasn’t been any update since then.
The franchise has not released any kind of statement regarding Wilson’s comments. Neither has the players’ entourage.
Will the Titans choose to let Wilson go from their roster? If they grant him his wish, they may be facing a penalty on their salary cap, given that he signed a 2-year contract last August.

However, the Titans could also choose to trade him, although Wilson’s lack of experience and game time in his rookie season may hold his status as a trade asset back.
