Titans part ways with VP of player personnel Lake Dawson

The Tennessee Titans have parted ways with vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson. 

Dawson is highly regarded in league circles and interviewed for the Chicago Bears' general manager vacancy before Ryan Pace was selected for the job. 

"This was not an easy decision and I want to thank Lake for his time with the team," Titans general manager Ruston Webster said in a statement. "This new structure will help us streamline things from both the college and pro perspectives. We will move forward without a VP of player personnel and the college and pro sides will report directly to me." 

Tennessee will now have to continue its draft preparations without Dawson as they look to turn their franchise around with the second overall selection.
