The Titans have waived quarterback Zach Mettenberger, according to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online (via Twitter). 
Mettenberger was once viewed as the team’s potential signal caller of the future, but that was before Marcus Mariota came into the picture. When the Titans used the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft to tab the Oregon standout, Mettenberger’s future in Tennessee became murky. Now, he’s free to pursue a starting job elsewhere.
Mettenberger, 24, was a sixth-round pick of the Titans in the 2014 draft. In his rookie season, Mettenberger saw time in seven games (six starts) and threw for eight touchdowns with seven interceptions. Not long ago, Mettenberger probably would have fetched a lower-round draft pick in a trade. However, the Titans likely shopped the QB around in recent days without finding a taker.
With Mettenberger out of the picture, the Titans now have quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Alex Tanney behind Mariota.
In addition to Mettenberger, the Titans have waived defensive end Iosia Iosia, tight end Kevin Greene, and wide receiver Rashon Ceaser (link). The Titans have signed four rookies from their tryouts (link): fullback Sam Bergen, wide receiver Ben Roberts, defensive end Mike Smith, and cornerback Bennett Okotcha.

Yeah, definitely not complaining. It’s an amazing free service they provide. I honestly just wanted to point it out as a “hey, heads up, there’s a typo” but I feel like there’s no way to communicate that in a comment that doesn’t sound obnoxious.
Clearly the right place for Zach is with the Steelers who desperately need a quality backup… AND of course there is the -berger thing for their QB’s. 🙂
