After this year, players who are attached to options for the fifth year will be protected from free releases. But the Titans will seize that opportunity in their senior year. They are ready to release the former first round pick I love Jackson
The Titans cut both Jackson and the right equipment Dennis Kelly, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweetsJackson’s option season would cost the Titans $ 10.2 million. They will convert that entire amount into cap-space, a luxury that won’t be available to teams from next year.
However, this is certainly no surprise. Jackson played in only three games last season; a knee injury took most of his season in the first round of 2017. The Titans put Jackson on IR leading up to Week 1, and although they triggered him off the injured list in early November, Jackson continued to miss the time. He will be hitting the free agency at a bad time, his worst season behind him, after the salary ceiling fell by $ 16 million. However, some interest rates are heading towards Jackson’s. He scored # 8 on Pro Football Focus’ overall corner in 2019, landing in the top 40 of the advanced metrics site in ’17 and ’18.
Tennessee will unveil a new group of angles next year. The Titans now have Jackson and Malcolm ButlerThey will also have new proper equipment.
After the Titans died Jack Conklin‘s option for the fifth year, they stated Isaiah Wilson in the first round of 2020. After a disastrous rookie year, Wilson is now with the Dolphins. The Titans used Kelly in the right tackle last season, taking the swing role he had previously held. Kelly’s most recent renewal ran through the 2022 season.
Overall, the Titans will create more than $ 17 million in cap space by making these moves. That will take the team’s total to nearly $ 30 million, per OverTheCap. They will also have to replace two key gears.
