Dion Lewis | RB
Contract: four years, $19.8 million (2018)
The Titans were looking for a veteran back to complement Derrick Henry in 2018, and while the fit was right with the pass-catching specialist Lewis, his stay in Nashville didn’t exactly pan out.
Lewis saw steady involvement in the offense in his first season in Tennessee and did total over 900 yards (517 rushing and 400 receiving) and two touchdowns, but his role diminished near the end of the campaign.
In 2019, Lewis was simply unable to make a significant enough impact with the ball in his hands to justify him getting snaps, especially with Henry dominating the way he did en route to a rushing title.
After two seasons and averaging a disappointing 3.5 yards per carry and 6.7 yards per reception, the Titans cut bait with Lewis, who will account for over $1 million in dead cap in 2020.
