Football team, Titans, terminates contract with new wide receiver recruit, potentially linked to Cam Ward.
After being waived by the Tennessee Titans, rookie wide receiver Xavier Restrepo finds himself on the open market. According to reports from ESPN and Jordan Schultz, the Titans released Restrepo, a former teammate of quarterback Cam Ward at the University of Miami.
Despite his release, there is a possibility that Restrepo could return to the Titans' practice squad. Jordan Schultz and other sources have suggested that the Titans could look to bring back Restrepo due to his understanding of the team's offense and his ability to learn new terminology quickly.
Restrepo has been praised by head coach Brian Callahan for his intelligence and ability to find space and get open. He is described as having a knack for finding space and getting open, with the ball tending to find him. Ward, the Titans' quarterback, believes that Restrepo has an "elite" understanding of the team's offense.
Despite his gratitude towards Ward, Restrepo has emphasized the need to carve out his own role. "I'm a grown man and have to go get my own," Restrepo stated after thanking Ward.
Brian Callahan also praised Restrepo for being "really intelligent" in multiple aspects. There is something about Restrepo as a football player that is difficult to measure, according to Callahan.
As the Titans prepare to open the season against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 7, it remains to be seen if Tennessee will obtain Restrepo's services again. Restrepo's familiarity with Ward and his elite understanding of the Titans' offense could make him an attractive option for the team.
Ward's top pass-catcher is Titans star Calvin Ridley, but Restrepo could provide a valuable depth option for the team. With his ability to find space and get open, Restrepo could prove to be a valuable asset for the Titans if he returns to the team.
In the meantime, Restrepo will continue to search for a new team as a free agent. He will undoubtedly be a sought-after player due to his talent and potential to contribute to a team's offense.
