The Tennessee Titans made several moves to get under the salary cap on Wednesday, releasing longtime left tackle Taylor Levan, wide receiver Robert Woods, inside linebacker Zack Cunningham and kicker Randy Bullock.
The Titans were about $23.3 million over the salary cap before Wednesday’s move. By releasing Levan ($14.8 million), Woods ($12 million), Cunningham ($8.9 million) and Bullock ($2 million), the Titans saved approximately $37.7 million against their cap.
LeVan, a three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman, was picked No. 11 in the 2014 draft. Lewan, 31, was entering the final season of a five-year, $80 million contract he signed in 2018.
Levan posted on his personal Twitter account, “I hope I’ve done enough to create something that all Titan fans can be proud of, I love you all.”
The nine-year veteran was the longest tenured player on the Titans’ roster. Lewan had two ACL surgeries in three years that limited him to playing in only 20 games over the past three seasons.
Levan’s latest ACL tear occurred last season in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills. Now Levan has to figure out if he wants to continue playing football.
He was released with a failed physical designation.
The Titans traded a 2023 sixth-round pick last year to the Los Angeles Rams for Woods, who is coming out of an ACL tear in November 2021.
Woods, 30, returned from injury and played in all 17 matches last season. Woods, a 10-season veteran, posted 53 receptions for 527 yards and two touchdowns in his only season with the Titans.
Tennessee claimed the 28-year-old Cunningham in 2021 after he was released by the Houston Texans. An elbow injury kept Cunningham out of last season. He played in only six games in 2022 and posted 24 tackles.
Cunningham was also released with a failed physical designation.
The 33-year-old Bullock made 17 of 20 field goal attempts and was solid on all 28 extra point attempts last season.
