NASHVILLE, Tenn. >> General manager Ran Carthon paid the price for the Tennessee Titans going 9-25 in his two seasons.

Tennessee controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, who fired general manager Jon Robinson in December 2022, will have yet another new GM to help the franchise decide what to do with its fourth overall No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, which it secured after going 3-14 in 2024. Strunk said Chad Brinker, president of football operations, will lead the search for a new GM. Brinker also will have full roster control.

Strunk said in a statement Tuesday that it was impossible to ignore that the Titans didn’t improve over the last two years. She said Callahan would continue as head coach even as the Titans lost their final six games and eight of nine.

Dolphins GM says WR Hill never asked for trade >> The Miami Dolphins don’t appear to have any immediate plans to trade Tyreek Hill.

General manager Chris Grier and coach Mike McDaniel both had conversations with Hill a day after the star receiver indicated he might want out of Miami following a loss to the New York Jets, which punctuated a losing season in which the Dolphins missed the playoffs.

Grier said Hill did not retract his postgame statements, when he said he enjoyed playing in Miami, but “at the end of the day, I’ve got to do what’s best for my career.”

“But he never asked for a trade with me,” Grier added, speaking at his end-of-season news conference.

Jets interview former Coach Ryan >> Rex Ryan has returned to the New York Jets — for an interview, at least.

The former Jets coach and current ESPN analyst, who led the franchise to its last playoff appearance to cap the 2010 season, met with the team about its head coaching vacancy.

Ryan went 50-52 in six years with the Jets before being fired after the 2014 season.
