6 contracts Tennessee Titans can restructure to create more cap space

The Titans do have some players whose contracts they can restructure to create more cap space.

Ryan Succop is on the list of Titans who might get cut after what was easily his worst season as a pro, but perhaps the team would be willing to keep him around if he takes less money.

Succop’s $4.1 million 2020 salary doesn’t leave a lot of room for adjustment, but he does carry a dead cap number of $2.1 million if the Titans decide to cut him.

If the Titans can get Succop to take close to or the same amount as his dead cap number, it would make sense to bring him back and have him compete with Greg Joseph for the starting job.

This way, Tennessee can hedge its bet in trying to find the best kicker to help pull the field goal unit out of its league-worst ranking from a season ago.
