The Tennessee Titans reportedly informed running back Dion Lewis on Thursday that they are releasing him, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Lewis spent two seasons with the Titans after signing a four-year, $19.8 million contract in 2018. Per Spotrac, cutting Lewis creates $4 million in salary cap space and leaves the Titans with a $1.125 million dead-cap hit in 2020.
The release of Lewis gives the Titans additional funds to negotiate with free-agent running back Derrick Henry and free-agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
