Tennessee Titans declining Rashaan Evans’ 5th-year option isn’t surprising

The Tennessee Titans have declined former first-round pick Rashaan Evans‘ fifth-year option, according to Adam Schefter. This is not shocking news at all.

After a prolific career at Alabama where he totaled 150 tackles (23 for loss) and 15 sacks through four years, Rashaan Evans becoming a first-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL Draft was an expected occurrence. The Titans took him No. 22 overall that year and the end result has been disappointing, to say the least.

Last year was particularly tough for Evans, as he failed to show what made him a first-round pick.
