McCutcheon's Titans Return: A New Lease on NFL Career

0:00It's April 1st. This is NFL News today. Football coverage powered by AI. Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Lance McCutchen just hit the undo button on his retirement. The 27-year-old pass catcher announced he was stepping away from football less than a month ago, but now he's back in the game with a one-year deal for the Tennessee Titans. It all started with a call from Robert Salah, his old head coach from the New York Jets, who's now running the show in Tennessee. NFL insider Ian Rappaport broke the news first on X, calling it an intriguing turnaround from McCutchen. Back with the Steelers last season, he lit up preseason with five catches for 66 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown against the Stest, Panthers. But he got cut from the final roster, landed on the practice squad, then got released early in the year before finishing with the Titans. This move reunites him with Salah, who signed him back in 2023 when he was with the Jets. Ian earned a futures deal there, but got released before linking up with Pittsburgh.

1:03At 27, he's got primers left to ball out, and this Titans shot could be the spark he needs to finally lock down a real role in the league.
