Adam Humphries is done in Nashville.
The Tennessee Titans are releasing the receiver after two seasons with the club, according to Tom Pelissero, NFL Network, according to sources. The team later announced that he was being fired.
Tennessee also agreed to line up defensive line Jullian Taylor and dropped defensive backs Chris Milton and Breon Borders.
Humphries has two years left on a four-year deal signed with Tennessee in 2019. The release of the WR clears $ 4.75 million of capital space in 2021, but also leaves $ 5 million in dead money this season.
In seven games last season, Humphries caught 23 balls for 228 yards and two scores. The WR was down all year and was on the reserve / COVID-19 list. He leaves the Titans with 60 catches for 602 yards and four TDs, very far from the production he has established in his four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
What the Titans player is still talking about is that former first-round tackle Isaiah Wilson was recently bought by Tennessee, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, according to sources.
Wilson played just four snaps in his rookie season while handling matters on and off the field. The 29th overall pick spent most of the campaign on the COVID-19 or NFI list. Wilson said in a tweet this week that he is ‘done with football as a Titan’.
Here are the other transactions we are monitoring on Thursday:
- The Denver Broncos announced Thursday that they have released veteran defender Jurrell Casey. The release of the DT will free up nearly $ 12 million in salary ceilings for the Broncos, which preceded Thursday’s move by slashing AJ Bouye, a co-acquisition of the trade, earlier this month.
- Pelissero said the Chicago Bears signed the attack, Ryan Nall. In his second season with the team in 2020, Nall scored 67 yards and hit a score at 11. He would be a limited free agent at the start of the new league year.
