NASHVILLE — A third member of last season's Tennessee Titans offensive line won't be around for Brian Callahan's first year as the Titans coach. Calvin Throckmorton signed a one-deal on Monday with the Denver Broncos, reuniting with coach Sean Payton.

Throckmorton, 27, signed with the New Orleans Saints as a undrafted free agent in 2020. After a year on the practice squad, Throckmorton started 14 games at guard for Payton.

Throckmorton continued with the team in 2022, after Payton's resignation, and started six more games. In 2023, the Saints waived Throckmorton during training camp and he was picked up by the Carolina Panthers. Throckmorton played nine games with seven starts for the Panthers before the Titans signed him off the waiver wire in November. He played in six games for the Titans.

The other departures on the offensive line are center Aaron Brewer, who signed with the Miami Dolphins after the Titans signed Lloyd Cushenberry. The Titans also parted ways with tackle Andre Dillard, who remained unsigned. Eleven Titans from 2023 have signed with new teams this offseason.
