RIP Floyd Reese

[Deus Irae]

The Tennessee Titans lost a legend this weekend, as former general manager Floyd Reese died at the age of 73. The news was broken by ESPN 102.5 The Game in Nashville, which reported that Reese died while he was surrounded by his family after a battle with cancer...

R.I.P.

RIP and thoughts for his friends and family.

Floyd was instrumental when Belichick and O'Brien essentially constructed the next 3 championship rings. Gronk, Edelman, Hightower, Chandler Jones, Chung....

Basically the team rode the foundation of those 2009-2012 drafts until players retired or left, and the cupboard has been bare since.

Thank you Reese for being a trusted voice for Belichick and Kraft, and for building the base for a couple championship teams.

Pretty low to use someone's death as a moment to spit out your talking points.

Forgot to add McCourty. When you add it up, those last 3 rings all came from players when Reese was here. BB is a HOF coach but as a GM his heydey came from 2000-2003 and 2009-2019 (Reese). I know it sounds repetitive but it's partly why I really want a new OC who doesn't just ride TB's coat tails and sucks at talent evaluation.

I’m devastated. One of my football favorites. He’ll probably be helping God evaluate talent.

Godspeed.

One of the all time personnel evaluators. Also sounded like a good guy. Speaks volumes that BB and Kraft both spoke up today.

You are right about the years he was here and what was brought in, it was just a year or two later and we had our new run on superbowls.

Very sad news. His contributions to the team were significant. God bless his family.
