NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Nearly a week after being notified by the team’s general manager, Tennessee Titans 2020 first-round NFL draft pick Isaiah Wilson wrote on Twitter Monday night that he is ‘done football like a Titan’ before he deleted the tweet shortly afterwards.
Wilson was the 29th overall selection in April’s draft, but only played four snaps in his rookie season, which led to his being placed on the non-football injury list in December. Before that, Wilson was on the reserve / COVID-19 list twice last year, during training camp and in October.
The rookie-right tackle was against the law a few times too. The first incident occurred when Tennessee State University police broke an off-campus party that Wilson attended during training camp. In their report, police documented that Wilson went to the second-floor balcony, where he briefly appeared to consider jumping. He received a violation warning.
The second incident occurred when Wilson was arrested and charged with a DUI in September, when he lost control of his vehicle and hit a concrete wall.
Titans GM Jon Robinson spoke about Wilson’s status at a virtual press conference on Tuesday, telling reporters he hadn’t spoken to Wilson since putting him on the NFI list and suggesting that Wilson “ decides if he wants to do whatever it takes to play pro. . American football. “
The Titans signed Wilson to a $ 11.6 million four-year deal in August. Tennessee would have a salary cap of $ 5.4 million if it released him.
Wilson’s desk did not respond to a request for comment Monday night when ESPN reached out.
