Former Titans OL Taylor Lewan Says NFL Retirement Comment Was a Joke, Calls Out Video

Veteran offensive tackle Taylor Lewan clarified his playing status after fans were initially left to believe he retired.

The three-time Pro Bowler remains unsigned after the Tennessee Titans released him in February to end a nine-year run there. In a clip posted by Barstool Sports, he bluntly says, "I'm retired."
