Adam Humphries is made in Nashville.
The Tennessee Titans are launching the receiver after two seasons with the club, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported on Thursday, according to sources. The team later announced that he was dismissed.
Tennessee also agreed to striker Jullian Taylor’s terms and dismissed defenders Chris Milton and Breon Borders.
Humphries had two years remaining in a four-year deal signed with Tennessee in 2019. The WR launch released $ 4.75 million in cap space in 2021, but also left behind $ 5 million in dead money this season.
In seven games last season, Humphries picked up 23 balls for 228 yards and two goals. WR has been out and on the reserve list / COVID-19 all year. He leaves the Titans with 60 receptions for 602 yards and four TDs, a far cry from the production he established in his four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As for a Titans player still in the squad, ex-first round tackle Isaiah Wilson was bought by Tennessee recently, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport said, according to sources.
Wilson played only four snaps in his debut season while dealing with problems on and off the field. The 29th overall choice passed most of the campaign on the COVID-19 or NFI list. Wilson said in a deleted tweet this week that he “ended football like a Titan”.
Here are the other transactions we are monitoring on Thursday:
- The Denver Broncos announced on Thursday that it had released veteran defender Jurrell Casey. The DT launch will free up about $ 12 million in wage cap space for the Broncos, who preceded Thursday’s move by cutting veteran trade acquisition AJ Bouye earlier this month.
- The Chicago Bears is rehiring running back Ryan Nall, Pelissero said. In his second season with the team in 2020, Nall recorded 67 yards and a score in 11 hits. He was scheduled to be a restricted free agent at the start of the new league year.
