The Tennessee Titans have decided to cut Chidobe Awuzie after signing the veteran corner to a lucrative three -year contract last spring, when he thought it was an important part of the team's plans.
Tennessee has the general selection number 1 in the April Draft and has a new general manager at Mike Borgonzi, who worked with Kansas City bosses when Awuzie signed his contract with problems with the Titans.
Awuzie was guaranteed $ 23 million in the agreement that could have won it up to $ 36 million since the Titans spent large in 2024 trying to plug the main holes, especially in their secondary school.
According to Spotrac.com, Awuzie obtained $ 19 million in the firm. Its release avoids the $ 3.98 million guaranteed on the fifth day of the new year of the League, which is Sunday.
Awuzie, 29, spent three seasons in Cincinnati before moving to Tennessee to play for the former offensive coordinator of the Bengals, Brian Callahan, in his first season as coach of the Titans.
Awuzie began only seven of his eight games in his eighth NFL season with his third team
It didn't help much.
Awuzie began only seven of his eight games in his eighth NFL season with his third team. It ended with an interception, four defeated passes, a forced loose ball and 26 tacle. She was put in the reserve injured on September 27 and nine games were lost before returning.
The new general manager Mike Borgonzi and the Titans also launched the veteran supporter Harold Landry III on March 7 as a salary top movement. The Titans player with a Pro Bowl had to have $ 24.1 million against the limit.
Landry then signed with New England, rejoining coach Mike Vrabel.
The Titans took a step towards fixing the interior of their defensive forehead by signing the supporter Cody Barton with a three -year contract in the middle of a burst of agreements on Thursday.
The Titans exchanged the supporter Kenneth Murray to Dallas for a selection of sixth round despite the fact that 14 games with 95 cup and 3 1/2 race captures began. Barton now gets to work behind the De Bowl defensive line, Jeffery Simmons, T'vondre Sweat and also Dre'mont Jones, who is recently signed with a one -year contract.
Tennessee began free agency by reinforcing an offensive line with difficulties, according to the left Tackle Dan Moore in a four -year contract and added to the right guard Kevin Zeitler in a one -year contract. It is expected that JC Latham, who started the 17 games in the left Tackle after being recruited No. 7 in general, moves to the right side.
The Titans gave 52 captures, more than all but four teams in 2024. They also added the offensive liner Blake Hance for a very necessary depth.
They also changed the trainers, bringing the 17 -year -old veterans to the Johnny Hekker bowling player for Ryan Stonehouse, a former non -recruited free agent who delivered the first two Gross Averages of the NFL in the history of NFL. Stonehouse was also the first with an average of 52.2 yards between 2022-24.
