The Tennessee Titans released outside linebacker Harold Landry III after unsuccessfully shopping their top pass rusher in trade talks.
Landry, 28, was the Titans’ longest-tenured player. Landry would have earned $17.5 million in base salary with a $24.05 million cap hit in 2025.
Tennessee will save $10.9 million in cap space, bypassing a June 1 designation available that would have increased the franchise’s savings to $17.5 million.
A second-round pick in 2018, Landry started all 17 games last season and made 71 tackles with a team-high nine sacks as well as 15 tackles for loss, one safety, 15 quarterback hits and four forced fumbles.
He has 397 career tackles in 98 regular-season games (79 starts) with 50.5 sacks, 70 tackles for loss, 102 QB hits, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Landry signed a five-year, $87 million deal in 2022 but tore his ACL in the preseason and missed the entire campaign.
The Titans gave Landry’s agents permission to seek a trade prior to the NFL Scouting Combine last month.
