Scott

Solomon

The Titans traded up to make this pick, indicating they had a middle-round grade on the player. Solomon goes 6-foot-3, 262 with short arms, but he is a high-motor pass rusher and does not give up in pursuit. In Tennessee, he’ll try to earn a roster spot as a situational end in an increasingly deep rotation.

The Titans surrendered their sixth-round pick in next year’s draft to trade up for Solomon in the top of the seventh round. A potential nickel rusher, Solomon started all four years at Rice while tying for the most sacks in school history.

The Titans must be really found of the former Rice Owl. He could see snaps as a nickel rusher upon his return, but will likely be a frequent game-day inactive.

A 2012 seventh-rounder, Solomon played just 169 snaps as a rookie, grading out well-below average in Pro Football Focus’ ratings. The Titans view Solomon as a potential nickel rusher, but he’s best suited to special teams.

He goes to make room for Zach Sudfeld. The Pats may now claim Solomon.

The 2012 seventh-rounder got a “long look” at strong-side linebacker in Tennessee, and that could be where he fits into the Jets’ 3-4 defense. Solomon appeared in 13 games as a rookie, making four tackles.

Solomon gets a one-game look with Da’Quan Bowers (knee) sidelined. The 2012 seventh-round pick of the Titans will be a deep reserve at end and help on special teams.

The Browns have spent the offseason talking up the likes of Solomon and ILB Tank Carder. Barkevious Mingo (shoulder) was limited at OTAs, leaving Solomon to play opposite Paul Kruger. Solomon, rookie Nate Orchard, and Armonty Bryant are competing for situational roles in what should be a heavy rotation. A journeyman, Solomon has been released five times by three different teams.

Browns DC Jim O’Neil reportedly views Solomon as a run-stopping complement to Barkevious Mingo. Solomon has been playing ahead of Mingo and rookie Nate Orchard in the early stages of camp. The Browns project to feature a heavy rotation at outside linebacker.

It’s only a slight tear, but he’ll still be sidelined three to four weeks. Scott Solomon will get most of the first-team reps at outside linebacker in Mingo’s absence. Injury plagued, Mingo was limited at minicamp after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. He’ll be playing catch-up when he comes back.
