Defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers, who will join the Titans in 2026, has said that his transition to the team will be easier due to familiar faces in the building. Titans head coach Robert Saleh, who had previously worked with the Jets when Franklin Myers was at the helm, was particularly influential in his decision to sign with the team. Additionally, Franklin Myer has spoken about his close relationship with defensive run game coordinator Aaron Whitecotton and his desire to return to the defense.
