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.
MARCH 10 • GMENHQ.COM
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.
MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Playing Sunday vs. Indianapolis Schlottmann (lower leg) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Schlottmann was placed on injured reserve at the start of the regular season after breaking his fibula during practice in late August. He was a full practice participant all week, and he will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday after being activated off IR on Saturday.

Drew Lock likely to start at QB for the Giants against the Colts on Sunday

Designated to return The Giants designated Schlottmann (lower leg) off injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Impact Schlottmann was placed on injured reserve back in August but is now closer to making his return. He managed to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, and the team will now have 21 days to officially activate him.
DECEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers broken fibula Wednesday The Giants placed Schlottmann (leg) on the reserve/injured list Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
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. The timeline for his recovery would slate his return for late October or early November.

Re-ups with Minnesota Schlottman (lower leg) re-signed with the Vikings on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Impact Schlottman will return to Minnesota after starting four games for the team last season. He fractured his fibula in January and is still recovering after having the injury surgically repaired.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Making progress in recovery Schlottmann (lower leg) will begin rehabbing in early March and is expected to be fully healthy for the 2023 season, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
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.
FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scheduled for surgery Schlottmann, who was placed on IR on Tuesday, will require surgery to repair a fractured fibula suffered in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Schlottmann's move to IR essentially ended his season, although he'd technically be eligible to be activated if the Vikings were to make it to the Super Bowl. However, the 27-year-old will likely focus on recovering over the next several weeks and preparing to return healthy next season. With Garrett Bradbury (back) also ailing, the Vikings are down their top options at center and have turned to veteran Greg Mancz, who was signed Tuesday, to likely take over the position.
JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bound for injured reserve The Vikings placed Schlottmann (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday, Carmen Vitali of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Schlottmann, who suffered a fractured fibula in Sunday's loss the Packers, has since moved to Minnesota's injured reserve and he'll now miss at least the next four matchups. Although it sounds unlikely the 300-pounder will be available for the Super Bowl should the Vikings make a deep postseason run, the team signed veteran center Greg Mancz to its active roster Tuesday, while usual starter Garrett Bradbury (back) could be back come playoff time.
