Titans released P Brett Kern.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Titans are going with rookie P Ryan Stonehouse, who drew praise from Titans coaches and beat writers during training camp. Kern, the team’s punter since 2009, will likely find his way onto another roster soon rather than later.

Titans restructured P Brett Kern’s contract.

This looks like a straight pay cut with ESPN’s Field Yates reporting Kern will now make $2.2 million in 2022, which is $1 million less than he was scheduled to earn. The Titans still have some work to do on the cap if they want to be real players in free agency.

Titans placed P Brett Kern on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Hopefully this does not portend more coronavirus issues for the Titans. Kern missed time earlier this season, and his Week 10 absence against the Colts led directly to a Titans loss after his fill-in performed disastrously.

Broncos second-year punter Brett Kern says he put on 20 pounds of muscle this offseason.

Kern says more muscle means more hangtime and consistency. We’re not sure if we buy that a punter really jacked himself up by 20 pounds, but it can’t hurt.

Amazingly, the Kern-for-Mitch Berger swap is the Broncos’ first in-season roster move of 2009. Most teams have signed multiple players off the street.

Broncos signed P Mitch Berger, formerly of the Steelers.

The release of Brett Kern comes next. Kern was 11th in the NFL with a 46.1-yard average, but his net was 34.5 and Denver was displeased with his low trajectory. Darren Sproles returned one of Kern’s Week 6 punts for a TD.
