Franklin-Myers Praises Saleh as Analysts Put Titans Signing Among Free Agency’s Best

The veteran lineman says Saleh's scheme frees him to move across the front.

Overview

In a team media session, John Franklin-Myers called Robert Saleh “a leader of men” who relates to players and puts them in position to win.
Franklin-Myers said his “superpower” is the ability to line up anywhere on the defensive line, including big-edge snaps with interior rush on passing downs.
Analysts highlighted his projected fit next to Jeffery Simmons, noting he can exploit one-on-ones when Simmons draws double teams.
NFL.com’s Jeffri Chadiha ranked the pickup among the 10 best early free-agent moves and labeled Franklin-Myers the top talent in a thin interior linemen market.
Familiarity is expected to smooth his transition, with Saleh, trade addition Jermaine Johnson II, and defensive run game coordinator Aaron Whitecotton all sharing Jets ties.
