The Tennessee Titans are going to be an interesting team to watch in 2023.
They’re reportedly looking to trade superstar RB Derrick Henry, and there are some serious questions about Ryan Tannehill’s future with the organization.
Now, Titans fans have even more reasons to be concerned about their team, as they’ve just released veteran center Ben Jones.
Jones is one of the best players in one of the most crucial positions in the league.
Moreover, he’s one of the biggest and most respected leaders in their locker room and a hard-working veteran who leads by example and will put his body and soul on the line for his teams on every single snap.
NFL fans wanted to point out just how good of a player and a leader Jones is by sharing an old clip of him having a passionate exchange with HC Mike Vrabel about playing through injury and leaving it all on the field.

Besides being an elite blocker and smart player, Jones was way more durable than the average center.
He played in all but one of his 100 starts with the Titans and would’ve kept that streak going if it wasn’t for the two concussions he suffered last season.
The team reportedly forced him to choose between retirement or being released, so it’s not a surprise that he chose the latter.
