University of Tennessee product and former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Ramon Foster appears to be a fan of the Tennessee Titans going after recently-released inside linebacker and former Steeler, Vince Williams.
Williams was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, saving the team about $4 million in cap space for 2021. A former sixth-round pick, Williams had spent his entire eight-year career in Pittsburgh before becoming a cap casualty.
Foster took to Twitter on Tuesday to suggest Williams going to Nashville, where he could join his former teammate, outside linebacker Bud Dupree, who agreed to terms with Tennessee on Monday night.
It’s nice in Nashville Vinny 😬👀. @Bud_Dupree is here too. https://t.co/Qd4ZA69XwS

UPDATE
This article and Foster’s suggestion were made prior to the Titans re-signing Jayon Brown, a move that was reported on Wednesday afternoon.
That makes a move for another inside linebacker unnecessary, unless of course the Titans are looking to move on from Rashaan Evans and intend to replace him with someone other than David Long. As of right now, there’s no indication that’s the plan.
Williams, 31, would be a solid option at the position if Tennessee decides to go that route. The veteran is a stellar run defender, a plus pass rusher up the gut and will likely come on a cheap, short-term deal.
