The Tennessee Titans released disappointing wide receiver Julio Jones on March 16th. Titans General Manager Jon Robinson labeled the transaction as a post-June 1 designation. The delay saved the Titans $9.5 million against the 2022 salary cap while spreading Jones’ $13.2 million dead cap across the next two seasons. The Titans have now officially received that cap space.
The Titans have been rather quiet in free agency as of late, but it’s more than possible Robinson was waiting for June 2nd to mark its merciless arrival before further exploring the current free agency market.
