Titans Reduce Roster To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 4:14pm CST by Ben Levine

The Titans have officially trimmed their roster to 53 players. Tennessee made the following moves:

Waived

- OL Cole Banwart
- DB Briean Boddy-Calhoun
- WR Fred Brown
- DB Jamal Carter
- FB Tory Carter
- OL Christian DiLauro
- WR Dez Fitzpatrick
- TE Miller Forristall
- OL Derwin Gray
- DL Woodrow Hamilton
- RB Javian Hawkins
- LB Jan Johnson
- DL Naquan Jones
- WR Mason Kinsey
- TE Jared Pinkney
- LB Wyatt Ray
- OL Jordan Roos

A pair of wideouts headline this list of waived players. Fitzpatrick was a fourth-round pick by the organization in this past year’s draft. The 6-foot-2 receiver was a standout during his stint at Louisville, leading to the Titans trading three picks to move up and select him. The rookie could end up falling through to the practice squad, but considering his draft stock, there’s a chance another team will claim him.

Meanwhile, Kinsey was an unheralded acquisition, but he made a name for himself following a strong preseason. The wideout finished August with 14 receptions for 131 yards and one touchdown.

Titans Sign 10 UDFAs

May 13th, 2021 at 9:40pm CST by Ben Levine

If you’re a big fan of undrafted free agents, we’ve got TEN more for you. The Titans announced today that they’ve added 10 rookies to their roster:

OL Cole Banwart, Iowa
FB Tory Carter, LSU
TE Miller Forristall, Alabama
K Blake Haubeil, Ohio State
OL Chandon Herring, Brigham Young
DL Naquan Jones, Michigan State
TE Briley Moore, Kansas State
LB Justus Reed, Virginia Tech
RB Mekhi Sargent, Iowa
P James Smith, Cincinnati

Who were the big earners? Carter earned $50K guaranteed, which includes $37.5K of his base salary (via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle on Twitter). Jones got $45K in guaranteed money, which includes $35K in base salary and a $10K signing bonus (via Wilson), while Forristall received $23K in guaranteed money (via Wilson).

Per usual with these kind of signings, the special teams additions are especially interesting. It doesn’t seem like veteran kicker Stephen Gostkowski will be back, meaning Haubeil will likely be competing with 2020 undrafted free agent Tucker McCann for the kicking gig. It’d be more difficult for Smith to make the roster considering the presence of Pro Bowler Brett Kern, but the team could be starting to prepare for the veteran punter’s inevitable retirement.
