NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans are releasing Taylor Lewan, the left tackle’s podcast, “Bussin’ With The Boys,” announced Wednesday.
“I hope I did enough to create something all the titan fans can be proud of, I love you all,” Lewan posted on his personal Twitter account.
Tennessee also released veteran wide receiver Robert Woods, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday. The news was first reported by theScore.com.
The Titans traded a 2023 sixth-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams last year for Woods, who was coming off an ACL tear in Nov 2021.
Woods, 30, worked his way back from the injury and played in all 17 games last season. Woods, a 10-season veteran, posted 53 receptions for 527 yards and two touchdowns in his only season with the Titans.
Lewan, a three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman, was the No. 11 pick in the 2014 draft. Lewan, 31, was entering the final season of the five-year, $80 million contract that he signed in 2018.
Tennessee will save $14.841 million in cap space by releasing Lewan, who had no guaranteed money left on his deal, and $12 million in space by releasing Woods.
The nine-year veteran was the longest-tenured player on the Titans’ roster. Lewan had two ACL surgeries in three years that limited him to only playing in 20 games over the past three seasons.
Lewan’s latest ACL tear happened last season in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills. Now Lewan has to figure out if he wants to continue playing football.
The Titans are $23.3 million over the salary cap before the releases becomes official.
