2026 NFL Offseason: The Biggest Need For Every AFC Team After Early Free Agency

Brian Daboll clearly isn't done poaching Giants yet with under-the-radar deal Brian Daboll already brought three former New York Giants with him to Tennessee, and he just brought a fourth in center Austin Schlottmann.

Heading to Music City Schlottmann signed a one-year contract with the Titans on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Schlottman served as the Giants' backup center for most of the 2025 regular season, though he did start in four games (including Weeks 17 and 18) in place of John Michael Schmitz (finger). It appears as though Schlottman will have the opportunity to compete for the starting center job in Tennessee, given that the Titans released Lloyd Cushenberry (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation in late February and that Corey Levin (biceps) is still an unrestricted free agent.

In line for larger role Schlottmann is expected to start at center Sunday against the Broncos, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

Impact John Michael Schmitz (concussion) has been ruled out and won't travel with the team to Denver. That leaves Schlottmann next in line at center. He played 32 snaps after Schmitz departed in Week 6, so Schlottmann should have some chemistry with Jaxson Dart.

Impact Schlottmann suffered a broken fibula when he got rolled up during practice Wednesday, and while he won't need surgery, he's expected to be out for 8-to-10 weeks, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Schlottmann fractured his fibula in Week 17 of the 2022 season, but he was healthy for training camp and appeared in nine regular-season games (including three starts) for the Vikings in 2023.

Impact Schlottmann underwent successful surgery in early January to repair a fractured fibula, and he's since shed his walking boot. Assuming he indeed is ready for the start of the season, he should compete for a depth role on the Vikings offensive line, if not a starting position.
