Tennessee Titans release OLB Cameron Wake

The Titans have released Cameron Wake.

The Tennessee 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 Cleveland 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.

This move comes on the heels of the team also releasing running back Dion Lewis. With the moves to cut both Wake and Lewis, the Titans will save about $9.5 million.

In other news, Wyatt is also reporting that the Titans have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with defensive back Chris Milton, who the team released on Wednesday.
