The Titans signed center Lloyd Cushenberry to a four-year, $50MM contract in 2024, but he will not finish the deal. The team is releasing Cushenberry, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Titans are cutting Cushenberry with a failed physical designation, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
Along with Cushenberry, the Titans are waving goodbye to safety Xavier Woods, Schefter relays. Woods joined the Titans on a two-year, $10MM pact last March. He will now return to free agency a year later.
Tennessee entered Wednesday with an NFL-leading $103.50MM in salary room, per OverTheCap. Moving on from Cushenberry will add $3.42MM to that total, but it will also stick the Titans with $9.05MM in dead money. Woods’ exit will clear $3.82MM at the cost of a more palatable $1MM cap hit.
