Tennessee Titans release OLB Cameron Wake

The Titans have released outside linebacker Cameron Wake, according to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online.
Wake signed a three-year, $23 million contract with Tennessee last March. The Titans will save about $5.5 million in 2020 by releasing him.
Wake played in just nine games in his first season with the Titans and totaled just 2.5 sacks, all of which came in the Week 1 win over the Browns.
Wake was placed on Injured Reserve in November, ending his season early. With doubts about his future viability at the age of 38, the writing was on the wall that he could be cut this offseason

Report: Saints planning to put first-round RFA tender on Taysom Hill

The Saints plan to apply the first-round tender to quarterback Taysom Hill, a pending restricted free agent, per a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
This will allow the Saints to match any contract offers Hill receives from other teams. If they decline to match an offer sheet, the Saints will recoup a first-round draft pick from that team.
It’s not really unexpected given the length to which Saints coach Sean Payton has talked up Hill this offseason, doubling down on the notion that he and the team view him as franchise quarterback material
