Grades for each of Tennessee Titans' 4 recent cuts

March 14, 2020 by Titans Wire Leave a Comment

The Tennessee Titans made the decision to cut four players in the last few days in tight end Delanie Walker, kicker Ryan Succop, outside linebacker Cameron Wake and running back Dion Lewis.

With those moves, the Titans now have about $18 million extra to spend this offseason, on top of the roughly $50 million the team started out with. It’s possible more cuts are made in the coming days, but those were undoubtedly some of the bigger ones the Titans had to make decisions on.

So, how well did general manager Jon Robinson do with those moves? Let’s take a look by slapping a grade on each, with “A” being the best and “F” being the worst.

Cutting Dion Lewis: A

Money saved: $4 million

This was by far the easiest decision the Titans had to make.

Lewis simply wasn’t cutting it as the team’s No. 2 back behind Derrick Henry, as evidenced by his 3.5 yards per carry and 6.7 yards per reception over the course of two years with the team.

Now, the Titans can take that money and spend it in free agency, while also adding a younger, cheaper and hopefully more productive back through the 2020 NFL Draft.
