The Tennessee Titans released outside linebacker Cameron Wake on Thursday, but that doesn’t mean the 38-year-old plans on retiring.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garofalo, Wake’s agent told him that the veteran wants to return for his 12th NFL season in 2020.
Wake played in just nine games for the Titans in 2019 and was a situational pass-rusher, as he never played more than 36 snaps in any contest. After battling injuries during the season, Wake was placed on season-ending IR in November.
Obviously, Wake’s age and 2019 injury issues, along with the fact that he totaled just 2.5 sacks in Week 1 against the Browns and none after, will be working against his hopes of getting another shot with a different team.
However, despite his sack totals falling off, Wake did still generate a pressure rate above 10 percent, the only Titans pass-rusher to do so.
That fact alone might make him an intriguing pickup for a team in need of a veteran pass-rusher who can only play limited snaps, but clearly that wasn’t enough for the Titans to hang on to him.
