    Little disappointed only because he's been one of the long tenured Titans. Not that he was particularly good, but because he'd been here awhile.

    That said, cost out weighed performance.

    Timing does seem a little off. If we were going to cut him, kind of wish they would have given him a chance on the FA market while teams were competitively going after players.
    I assume this means CB in the first round (5 or 18) but not excited for Ryan, Sims, McCain and Reed as the current CB list.

    Agreed. At least not before the draft.

    Maybe he knew his playing time was on line and asked for it himself? Give himself a chance to try something different before probably hanging the cleats up next year. Watch the Patriots sign him.

    Yea but who cares if you're not going to use it on anyone and he's gone next year anyways?

    I bet the team asked him to restructure.

    I see reports that they tried to restructure the contract, but could not come to terms with a new deal. So, they released him. Bet McCourty was wanting more years and they didn't want to do that. Weird timing, agree, but none the less. Gotta grab 2 CB in the draft now. A Top 2 round CB then a Round 3-5 CB I would assume.

    great, more money not to spend on anyone. And less depth at CB.

    I don't get this move. To cut one of our best players at a position that's already thin doesn't make sense. If you know you're going to release him, why not hold onto him for 2 more weeks and see if you can use him as trade bait?
