After the news, he posted a photo of his belongings, which had been left at the Titans’ facility and left in garbage bags on his doorstep.
Lewan titled the post: “Calling out to the @Titans who are dropping off my stuff today.
“They even let me keep the shoulder pads. [salute emoji]”
However, fans weren’t impressed with the way his stuff was handled, with one commenting: “So much for all the hard work.”
Another said: “Is this normal behavior for teams? Holy Smokes. Titan and Lewan fan but Holy Smokes.”
While one commented: “[sad face emoji] Thank you for your service to our Titans, not impressed with the gear presentation split!”
Lewan has since taken to Twitter to address criticism of the Titans.
He explained that he had asked the organization to drop off his belongings at his home, saying: “Yes, it’s in garbage bags, who cares?

“What does it have to be, like a horse-drawn chariot, a golden chariot where they pull up and say, ‘Hey, thanks for the last nine years.’
“Let’s stop overreacting. The Titans treated me incredibly.
“Even when they circumcised me, it was an amazing deal. They let me choose when to be circumcised.”
Lewan went on to describe general manager Ran Carthon as “amazing” and head coach Mike Vrabel as “amazing”.
He concluded: “Let’s not overreact guys. Let’s not overreact. Everything is good. Big hugs, little kisses.”
After his release, Lewan posted a heartfelt video on his Twitter along with the subtitle: “Thanks to every single Titan fan.
“Whether you loved me or hated me, all I ever wanted was to make this town proud and help bring a franchise back.
“Thanks very much”
A three-time NFL Pro Bowl offensive lineman, Lewan has been limited to just 20 appearances over the past three years due to injuries and a suspension.
