The Tennessee Titans have made their first cuts of the offseason. They released both center Lloyd Cushenberry and safety Xavier Woods this afternoon. Cushenberry was released with a failed physical designation, according to Adam Schefter.
The Cushenberry signing was praised almost universally back in 2024. Unfortunately, he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the eighth game of 2024 and wasn’t playing very well before the injury. He was better overall in 2025, but did not live up to the 4-year $50 million contract he signed.
Cutting Cushenberry saves the Titans just over $3 million in cap space for 2026. It will be interesting to find out what caused him to fail the physical.
Woods signed a 2-year $8 million deal with the Titans before the 2025 season. He was mostly a non-factor for the team during his time in Nashville.
This will not be the end of the cuts for the Titans. L’Jarius Sneed is certainly going to be cut, and all eyes are on Calvin Ridley. Will the Titans keep or cut him?
