Oluwafemi Oladejo of the Tennessee Titans remains unsigned with training camp just weeks away. The clock is ticking for the second-round NFL draft pick out of UCLA. Titans Wire wonders if this should be cause for concern:
“Ian Rapoport reported that Los Angeles Chargers rookie wideout Tre Harris did not report to training camp and was listed as a holdout. Harris is the first of the second-rounders to miss the start of training camp, and he could be the first of many with the Chargers being the first team to open camp. While this is happening thousands of miles away, it has a direct impact on the Titans. Harris was the 55th pick in the draft, three spots after the Titans picked Oladejo at No. 52.
“There is still time to finalize the deal before camp, with both Oladejo and the Titans should be motivated to finalize the contract, as both sides will benefit from his presence in camp. The rookie edge is being counted on to bring athleticism and attitude to the revamped unit, but he is still unrefined and can use all the reps he can get.”
In other words, it’s not yet time to panic, but it’s also not worth assuming everything will fall into line. There could be complications. Oluwafemi Oladejo and the Titans both hope those complications do not arise. The organization, which endured a miserable 2024 NFL season, needs to get its high-impact rookies on the field in Week 1 so that it can engage in a full rebuild. Rookies missing time will set the Titans back a few steps. That can’t happen … but it might if this contractual snag isn’t resolved.
