Free agent linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair is following new Titans General Manager Ran Carthon from San Francisco to Tennessee.
Dianna Russini of ESPN reports that Al-Shaair is expected to sign with the Titans.
He will replace David Long, who left for the Dolphins on Monday.
Al-Shaair bid his farewell to the 49ers and their fans in an Instagram post Monday.
The Texans also were expected to have strong interest in Al-Shaair with former 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans as their head coach.

Twenty-two of Al-Shaair’s starts came the past two seasons.
He has 199 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and seven passes defensed in 2022.
Al-Shaair ranks 87th on PFT’s list of top-100 free agents.
