    I bet it will be Hankins. He is a very good NT, but wont command that type of money Williams or Poe will.

    Surprising to me. Doesn't save more than 2-3 million on a team that's already rich with cap space. Either they are priming for a big time NT signing, or they are satisfied with Blackson/Johnson, who are younger and cheaper than Woods. Don't be surprised if it's the latter.

    Meh. Austin Johnson may be ready to step up and adding a mid to high pick or a solid FA would land Woods in a 3rd string role anyway.

    Well, I am not surprised by the cut - I had him on my list of players to be cut - but I am surprised by the timing. Cutting him now saves $2.188M against the cap but waiting until after June 1 would have saved $2.938M.

    Agree 100% with the posters above who said Titans feel comfortable with Blackson and Johnson, who can both play several positions. Poe, Hankins and Brandon Williams still very much in play in my mind.

    Maybe doing Woods a favor by releasing him at the start of free agency. He seems like a good guy

    Surprised by the move, Woods is the only true NT on the team. Johnson, Da'Quan and Blackson are all 5 techniques, so there must be a move in the works. NT to me one of the bigger needs on our team with CB and ILB.

    Thanks Al, I always thought he was solid.
