For the first time in his NFL career, Taylor Lewan is a free agent.
The former Michigan football offensive lineman was released by the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday with a "failed physical" designation, as part of a series of salary-slashing moves by the team. Tennessee saves approximately $14.8 million against the salary cap with no dead cap penalty by releasing Lewan, who was set to enter the fifth and final year of an $80 million contract.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Lewan was the longest tenured player on the team — he was drafted No. 11 overall in 2014 — having spent his entire career with the Titans.
