Sometimes holding out actually works. Lewan, who skipped mandatory minicamp earlier in the offseason, is one of those cases.
The Titans need to do all they can to make sure they keep their franchise quarterback, Marcus Mariota, protected. Making his best offensive lineman happy is a pretty good start.
