Sources: Titans plan to cut pass-rusher Bud Dupree

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans plan to release outside linebacker Bud Dupree at the start of the new league year next week, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

The Titans can't release Dupree until March 15, when the new league year begins, due to his remaining guaranteed salary.

The move will save the Titans $9.35 million against their salary cap. Dupree was set to hold a $17 million cap hit if he remained with Tennessee in 2023. Once Dupree's release becomes official, the Titans will have around $23 million in cap space at the start of the free agency period.
