“I was in Tennessee four years. I never had work ethic questions or work ethic issues until I asked for a release,” former Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Teair Tart said this week. “I think it was just better to not be a part of that situation anymore. Me personally, I just felt like I needed a culture change, honestly.”
Former Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Teair Tart this week pushed back on a months-old report that a lack of effort led to his release in December.
Tart, who signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2020, became a solid rotational player for three seasons until the team cut him after a December victory against the Miami Dolphins. An ESPN story, attributing a team source, said that the Titans moved on from Tart because of issues with “effort and attitude.”
Tart, now with the Miami Dolphins, rebuffed the assertions about his work rate during a press conference on Tuesday .
