Lewan said:
"I don't want to get emotional... I was supposed to get cut Friday. And then and then I got moved to today. So when I found out yesterday, that was happening. I was really upset. And I was sad. And then I had a conversation with my wife last night, and today I woke up happy."
"Like, I there's a lot of things in the last three years that I wish I could change. I wish I didn't have an ACL, I wish there wasn't a PED and all that stuff. But at the end of it, like, I'm extremely proud of the career that I've had for the times. And I am extremely grateful for being a part of the Tennessee Titans for as long as I have."
"The Titans are in a much better position than when I first got there. So I'm extremely proud and, and to be honest, I feel I feel free. Really in a weird way."
Lewan spent nine seasons with the Titans. He has made three straight Pro Bowls from 2016-2018 and has started 100 career games.
He suffered a knee injury in Week 2 of 2022 that caused him to miss most of the season. Lewan is expected to retire this offseason.
