Source: Titans likely to release safety Cyprien

The Tennessee Titans are expected to release safety Johnathan Cyprien sometime this week, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Titans would like him back, but for less money than the $5.5 million base salary he was scheduled to be paid in 2019.

The Titans will save $4.75 million by releasing Cyprien, who would have cost $6.2 million against the salary cap. Cyprien signed a four-year deal worth $25 million with the Titans in 2017.

As the Titans' starting strong safety, Cyprien posted 38 tackles and a sack in his only season with the team.
