The Tennessee Titans made several changes to their defense earlier this offseason, one of which included the release of veteran safety, Kenny Vaccaro.
Vaccaro, who was signed as an injury replacement for Johnathan Cyprien in 2018 and was a key contributor over his first two seasons with the team, struggled in 2020, much like the rest of the secondary and defense overall.
That, combined with the fact that the Titans needed cap space and had 2019 fourth-round pick Amani Hooker waiting in the wings made the release of the 30-year-old an expected move.
Not only are the Titans set to have a new starter alongside Kevin Byard, but they also have some new depth options beyond the top of the depth chart.
Let’s take a closer look at Byard, Hooker and the rest of the players at the position who will be vying for a roster spot in training camp, which begins on July 27.
