NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Floyd Reese, the general manager who assembled the roster for the Tennessee Titans' lone Super Bowl appearance, died Saturday. He was 73.
His family told the team of his death. Reese had cancer and was with his family when he died, according to a social media post by ESPN 102.5 The Game, the radio station where Reese worked until mid-December.
Reese spent 21 years with the Oilers-Titans as coach and executive, and he remains the winningest general manager in franchise history.
"As general manager, he built a team that saw sustained success and helped guide our franchise in the toughest of times and the highest moments," controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said.
