Cutting Delanie Walker: A
Money saved: $6.4 million
If we’re going with our head instead of our heart, this was a move that simply had to be made.
Walker was going to be 36 when 2020 begins and after playing in just eight games the past two seasons due to injury, bringing him back at $8 million next season just didn’t make sense.
Not to mention, the Titans saw that Jonnu Smith is ready to take the reins after his emergence in 2019, and Anthony Firkser remains a solid backup tight end behind him.
Tennessee still must fill the MyCole Pruitt role if they don’t re-sign him, but that should come in short order once free agency begins.
