Titans release longtime LT Taylor Lewan, WR Robert Woods

The Tennessee Titans released veteran left tackle Taylor Lewan, wide receiver Robert Woods, inside linebacker Zach Cunningham, and kicker Randy Bullock on Wednesday in an effort to stay under the salary threshold. Prior to Wednesday's actions, the Titans were around $23.3 million over the salary cap. The Titans saved about $37.7 million against their cap by cutting loose Lewan ($14.8 million), Woods ($12 million), Cunningham ($8.9 million), and Bullock ($2 million). The No. 11 choice in the 2014 draught was offensive guard Lewan, a three-time Pro Bowl selection. Lewan, who is 31 years old, was about to begin the last year of a five-year, $80 million deal that he signed in 2018. "I hope I contributed enough to produce something that will make all Titan fans happy. The Titans' roster's longest-tenured player was the nine-year veteran. Lewan was only able to participate in 20 games over the last three seasons because to two ACL operations he underwent in a three-year period. Lewan suffered his most recent ACL rupture against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 of the previous campaign. Lewan must now decide if he wants to keep playing football. He had a failed physical designation and was freed.Last year, the Titans acquired Woods from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a sixth-round selection in 2023. Woods had just had ACL surgery in November 2021. Woods, 30, overcame the injury and participated in all 17 games last year. In his lone season with the Titans, 10-year veteran Woods had 53 catches for 527 yards and two scores. When Cunningham, 28, was released by the Houston Texans in 2021, Tennessee grabbed him off waivers. Cunningham missed the most of the previous season due to an elbow injury. In 2022, he participated in just six games, although he made 24 tackles. Cunningham was also given a failed physical designation before being freed. Bullock, 33, was successful on all 17 of his 20 field goal attempts.
