The Titans are not in the best spot cap wise. In terms of effective cap space the Titans an estimated $3.6m in the hole. that is with key people needing to be re-signed at several positions.
Some monies can be pushed to 2022 to save 21 space but 22 is not looking great either. In 22 the Titans will have an estimated $51.6 million in space, which sounds like a lot but that puts them in the bottom quarter of the league. And, there will be several key positions to be re-signed.
NFL Salary Cap Space | Over The Cap
Let's look at what can be cut:
Malcolm Butler (most targeted DB in the league) -- net $12.6m with $2m in dead space
Roget Saffold (We can always get a guard in the first round) - net $10.5 with $2.3m in dead space
Adam "My Humps" Humphrey (Better to keep Davis) -- net $8.7m with $2.5m in dead space
Some others include Kenny Vaccaro, who could be cut if Hooker can be a viable replacement. Kelly would be a nice cut if we had someone who can take over at RT. But, unless they draft an RT in the first round we are best to stick with Kelly.

We just drafted a RT in the 1st! I think Wilson gets until TC to shape up....therefore we keep Kelly....Vaccaro can go, I do like Butler, would he restructure?
vaccaro should be cut, humphries too. i'd keep saffold and butler
We did? Nah, that can't be right. Not with all the injuries we had at OT this year. If we had taken an RT in the first they would have moved Kelly to LT and played him at some point.
:sarcasm:
Was cap hit that hard due to covid? Or did the clowney Beasley mess put them behind? I could’ve sworn they were in great shape before signing clowney.
Lol. Actually we drafted a POS in the 1st
A lot of column A, a little from column B.
It was always going to be tight this offseason, Covid made it worse.
Oh well at least we have Henry and Tannehill locked up!
It looks like we have 6 mill according to over the cap, which you linked. And there is a chance the cap could be as high a 195, which would give us 20 mill more. I think we definitely see some restructuring. We need to fill close to 30 spots on the roster.
Yea Im leaning towards doing this too
Neither would be missed and it frees up nearly $9M in cap space
Any chance humphries retires? Would that take his entire salary off the cap if he does?
The only way that the Clowney/Beasley signings effect next years cap is that it decreased any possible cap roll-over...if we had not signed them then we could have rolled over that money to next year.
I don't blame JRob at all for those signings. Our biggest need was pass rush. He did not immediately over-pay for Clowney...he played hard ball and got him more at the price JRob wanted. He signed Beasley who was a young edge rusher who he was hoping would be perfect as a situational rusher....both were failures.
My complaint to JRob is that he knew both were 1 yr deals and thus we would be looking again this offseason for pass rush help....he should have drafted a pass rusher as well.
Hump could retire but that does not help us cap wise. Still have to take the hit for the rest of his guaranteed money, but could space it over 2 years similar to a post June 1 cap cut I believe
For gaining cap space, I'd look to re-structure Lewan, Butler, Byard...
Butler was our best CB this year...he played with heart and actually made some plays. I would feel better about cutting Adoree and saving that 10mil with no dead money. I at least know that Butler will show up and compete. I would try to re-sign King... Go with Butler, Fulton, King....over Jackson, Fulton, King

butler isn't perfect, but dude plays hard and wouldn't be noticed much if adoree got back to playing decently
As it stands Adoree isn't noticed much
I like Butler, he plays hard and makes some plays
We better keep Butler, I would think he would restructure but if I am cutting a cb it has to be Adoree Jackson
When can we cut byard with it being financially viable? I think he was literally our worst defender this season.
For this season probs vaccaro, hump, and butler. Hopefully butler will restructure cause he's pretty good actually

In order to get better you suggest we cut our best DB and best OL from 2020? What?
Saffold was one of the best guards in football and your solution is to “draft a guard in the 1st round” lmao good lord. Make it stop.
