Ran Carthon Fired as Titans GM; Tennessee Has No. 1 Pick in 2025 NFL Draft

The Tennessee Titans announced Tuesday they fired general manager Ran Carthon after just two seasons. Brian Callahan will continue in his role as head coach.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders was among those shocked by the news. Fans will inevitably read something into his reaction since the Titans have the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft and could select his son, Buffs quarterback Shedeur Sanders:

Tennessee sided with the GM last offseason during an apparent power struggle with head coach Mike Vrabel, who wanted to wield more authority over personnel matters. Now, the Titans have not only fired a head coach with a .545 winning percentage but also sent their GM packing a year later.

Then there’s the fact the franchise wasn’t exactly considered a serious contender when the year opened. Per Spotrac, Carthon and the front office spent the third-most money in free agency ($238.7 million), but here’s a small sampling of where various outlets had the Titans in their preseason power rankings: 24th, 28th, 28th, 26th and 27th.
