The Tennessee Titans released their long-term left tackle, Taylor Lewan, earlier this month in a cap-saving move, with Lewan leaving the team after nine years.

And while he left a touching message to the Titans franchise and fans after being cut, the 31-year-old revealed just how brutal the NFL can be.
