The Titans have released outside linebacker Cameron Wake, per a club announcement. In the same press release, the Titans also made official the release of running back Dion Lewis.
Wake, who turned 38 in January, has previously said that he plans to continue playing in 2020.
“I don’t have any plans of giving it up,” Wake said late last year. “As long as there is a mutual desire from myself and the organization obviously as well, I’d look forward (to playing here again). It is not even a ‘like’ it here – I love it here. In the past I knew of guys who had passed through this organization, and now having come here myself, it’s an understatement to say how much I enjoy it. I’ve kind of had the appetizer version of what it is.”
“This place checks all the boxes for me,” Wake continued. “I am blessed to have been given the opportunity and I appreciate every minute of it. And I look forward to whatever the future brings.”
Last year, Wake missed the final stretch of the season with a back injury. Many expected the Titans to drop him this offseason, a move that saves the club $5.6MM against the cap. Combined with the Lewis release, the Titans have saved $9.6MM in total.
Good savings for the Titans, makes sense but I think Wake still has some good footy in him.
Maybe he should move back home to Maryland, join the Ravens and compete for the super bowl.
Ravens also kinda have a hole at OLB with Matt Judon likely to leave. Not the Wake is at that level but he would bring a bunch of experience to a young group of LB and would be ready for depth and rotation.
Wake won at least two games for the titans last season. He definitely has something left in the tank.
They’re trying to scrape up enough $$ for Brady
More like money to resign Tanny and Henry.
Brady is going to Hollywood or staying with Pats.. most likely Hollywood
Wake should go home to Maryland and join Baltimore and replace Judon
Green Bay should give him a call.
he’ll probably go home to the Maryland area, and sign a 2-3yr deal with the skins
Seems like a skins signing
Prototype example of the saying “the NFL is a business, not a sport”.
It would be interesting to know if they offered him a contract restructuring prior to his release, as Wake still has something left.
