Titans Cut OL Ben Jones; Falcons Reunion with Arthur Smith?

The Tennessee Titans are saying goodbye to one of its greatest offensive linemen in franchise history today.

According to A to Z Sports, the Titans are cutting Ben Jones, who has started all but six games at center for the team since 2016.

Jones, who turns 34 in July, will look for his third NFL home, one that may be a reunion with his former coach Arthur Smith with the Atlanta Falcons.

"Seeing Ben Jones (have command), he helped change the culture in Tennessee," said Smith last year. "Came there as a guy that can anchor the middle, and we're looking for somebody that's got command. Obviously, Alex Mack did it here at a high level. That's such an important position."

The Titans-Falcons connection has been strong for Atlanta since Smith's arrival in 2021. Could it continue with Jones?

The Falcons played second-year pro Drew Dalman at center for all of last season, but it's possible Atlanta could look for an upgrade. There's also a scenario where Jones could move back to guard, a position he played early in his career with the Houston Texans.

The Falcons signing Jones would also bring him back to the state of Georgia, where he spent his college years protecting Matthew Stafford and Aaron Murray for the Bulldogs.
