Titans Release Former Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Butler
CINCINNATI — Plenty of veteran players across the NFL are expected to be released in the coming days as teams work to free up as much cap space as they can.
Cornerback Malcolm Butler became the latest victim on Tuesday afternoon as the Titans release the former Super Bowl MVP.
Tennessee saves more than $10 million against the cap, as they try to build a younger secondary. Meanwhile, the 31-year-old Butler becomes a free agent for the second time in his career.
He appeared in all 16 games for the Titans in 2020, finishing with 100 tackles, four interceptions and 14 passes defensed. He's still a solid cover corner, despite being on the wrong side of 30.
Butler joins a free agent market that will likely include Bengals cornerback William Jackson III and Seahawks defensive back Shaquill Griffin.
Butler spent the first four seasons of his career in New England, before signing with Tennessee in 2018. He's free to sign with another team before free agency officially opens. Jackson and Griffin are limited to negotiations with their current teams until the legal tampering period begins on March 15.
