titans cap space implies imminent roster changes

An integral part of yearly trade deadline conversations around the NFL is an involved team's outlook given their seasonal progress up to that point. For the 1-8 Tennessee Titans, it's all about what comes after right now, because right now is about as unbearable as it gets for a fanbase that has long been in wait for success. In addition to moving a key defensive piece ahead of the deadline, in exchange for some draft capital, the Titans are gearing up for bigger roster additions in the near future with one of... The team's timing, even at the expense of a second notch in the win column, couldn't be any better. As frustrating as it is for those aforementioned fans to watch through the process, having a bevy of rookies (mostly on offense) and young talent in place already bodes well for the remaining money... Heading towards another rebuild under whatever head coaching candidate is chosen to replace Brian Callahan, the franchise may have to wait until that name is made official to shift any major sand regarding the...

Even so, taking a look at the numbers, it's hard not to be excited by the outlook. #Titans will also have $108 million in 2026 cap space (2nd most in the NFL) per OverTheCap’s projections. That number will balloon to at least $133 million when they part ways with Ridley and Sneed. Could hit $140 million if they move on from Pollard too.Big changes coming… https://t.co/gDgmdA4OOq The Tennessee Titans have undergone massive changes this offseason. New GM Mike Borgonzi is running things in a collaborative effort with president Chad Brinker.

There are at least 10 new projected starters when you compare the team's depth chart at the beginning of last season to the current depth chart for 2025. The Titans are set to have new starters at premium positions such as QB, EDGE, OT, WR, and CB. Rookie No. 1 pick Cam Ward isn't the only change in Nashville. Borgonzi believes in drafting and developing talent. That means the Titans are undergoing a rebuild.

Most veterans acquired this offseason are short-term solutions, designed to buy Borgonzi time to fill those spots with longer-term prospects. One look at Tennessee's roster indicates sweeping changes could arrive again next offseason. The Titans are near the top of the NFL when it comes to future starters or role players set to hit free agency after 2025. Teams with the most players who will be UFAs in 2026 and played in at last 25% of the snaps last year1. Chargers- 192. Browns- 183.

Commanders- 174. Giants/Jets- 156. Texans/Ravens/Panthers/Falcons- 1410. Titans/Chiefs- 13 This story is updated with new information, added after the Titans fired GM Ran Carthon on Tuesday. The Tennessee Titans enter the 2025 offseason with a good chunk of cap space and the No.

1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. There should be no excuses for director of football operations Chad Brinker in the Titans front office with the resources available. Tennessee has many needs across the roster, including at quarterback where both Will Levis and Mason Rudolph struggled in different ways all season. The Titans also need to improve the right side of the offensive line, add another quality pass-catcher and address the front seven. The Tennessee Titans were set to open free agency with roughly $50 million of salary cap space on Friday before they decided to part with edge Harold Landry. Tennessee tried to trade the seventh-year veteran, who had two seasons remaining on the $87.5 million contract extension he signed in 2022, but the $17.5 million base salary appeared to be a non-starter with...

Landry had a $24.05 million cap number in 2025 and that will now drop to $13.1 million as dead money, a savings of $10.95 million in cap room. Landry only played two seasons under the deal, after missing all of 2022 with an ACL injury. Over those two seasons, he accounted for 19.5 sacks and logged over 70% defensive snaps on the edge for the Titans. The Titans could free up roughly $6.5 million more if Landry is designated a post-June 1 release. Currently, the team at Over the Cap estimates the Titans to be 8th in the NFL with about $61 million in cap room for 2025. The NFL free agency window opens on Wednesday, March 12, and the Titans have the ammunition to be active.

Among the moves: Receiver Bryce Oliver and edge rusher Ali Gaye have been activated off Injured Reserve. A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Harris played in 14 games for the Titans this season. Harris was credited with 25 tackles, two quarterback pressures, one tackle for a loss and five passes defensed. Also on Saturday, the Titans announced defensive back Kemon Hall will be a gameday elevation for the practice squad for Sunday's game vs the Chiefs This designation opens up a three-week window for all three players to practice with the team, and they will not count against the team's 53-man roster until being activated from Injured Reserve. Dellinger, waived on Monday by Cleveland, initially entered the NFL as a seventh-round pick of the Ravens in the 2025 draft.
