Less than 24 hours ago, the Tennessee Titans announced that DeMarco Murray has been told he will be released soon. At 30 years old with a big cap hit, Murray’s release was a no-brainer. Fast forward a day and the Titans have parted ways with three other veterans: QB Matt Cassel, S Da’Norris Searcy and WR Eric Weems. Almost all of those are also logical decisions.
Cassel was nothing short of dreadful in relief of Marcus Mariota last season, and his cap hit for 2018 was going to be $2.5 million. For one of the worst backups in the entire league, that money wasn’t even close to worth it.
