The Tennessee Titans have been up against the salary cap wall for several years. And now, the Titans are expected to bite the bullet to get under the cap for next season, The Tennessean reported Sunday.
Unless there are last-minute dealmaking moves to reduce cap numbers, receiver Derrick Mason, cornerback Samari Rolle and defensive tackle Kevin Carter will be cut. Tackle Fred Miller, fullback Robert Holcombe and kicker Joe Nedney are expected to be let go as well.
An official announcement could come as soon as Monday.
Taking into account the amount of players, the money and the star power, this is the most dramatic re-shaping the Titans have undergone since moving to Tennessee.
The moves are part of the team's efforts to get below the NFL's salary cap by the league's March 2 deadline. The Titans entered the offseason $27 million over the cap.
The Titans continue to work on restructured contracts for quarterback Steve McNair, tackle Brad Hopkins and guard Zach Piller, and are expected to re-work the contracts of linebacker Keith Bulluck, guard Benji Olson and possibly others, the paper reported.
