The Titans are moving on from one of their veteran defensive backs.
Tennessee is releasing cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Sneed, 29, was a high-profile addition when the Titans traded for him in 2024. At that point, Sneed was coming off winning back-to-back Super Bowls with the Chiefs and was an integral part of their 2023 championship run.
But due to multiple injuries, Sneed played just 12 games over the last two years for Tennessee. In 2025, Sneed was available for seven games, recording 26 total tackles with three passes defensed.
By releasing him, the Titans will save $11.4 million against the cap in 2026 with an $8.1 million dead cap charge. The club will save $16.4 million against the cap in 2027 with a $4.1 million dead cap charge.
A fourth-round pick in 2020, Sneed has registered 43 passes defensed with 10 interceptions in 69 career games.

Titans head coach Robert Saleh is bringing one of his former Jets players with him to Tennessee.
Agent Alan Herman told Rich Cimini of ESPN.com that his client Tony Adams has agreed to terms with the Titans. The safety signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and Saleh was the Jets’ head coach at the time.
Adams appeared in 53 games and made 36 starts during his four years with the AFC East team. He had 49 tackles and a sack during his final season with the team.
The Titans also held onto one of their own defensive backs. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that they have agreed to re-sign safety Jerrick Reed.
Reed had six tackles in three games for Tennessee last season. He had 18 tackles in 20 games for the Seahawks over the last three seasons.
The leak was accurate.
The Tennessee Titans have unveiled new uniforms (again). The latest iteration dumps the bowling-ball blue helmet for a white one, with a revamped logo in the same Oilers-style blue.
The base uniforms have a distinct Oilers vibe, too.
There’s also a secondary logo dubbed “The Football.” It’s shaped like (spoiler alert) a football, with a combination “T” and “N” inside.
The move comes a year before the Titans move into a new stadium. They have a new coaching staff, led by Robert Saleh. And they’d added plenty of pieces in free agency in an effort to build around 2025 No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward and standout defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.
The Titans last made a major uniform change in 2018, swapping white helmets for blue.
The franchise moved from Houston to Tennessee in 1997. They were the Tennessee Oilers for two years before becoming the Titans in 1999.
The Titans have agreed to terms with tight end Kylen Granson on a one-year deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.
Granson, who turns 28 this month, played only 244 offensive snaps in 17 games for the Eagles in 2025. He played 290 special teams snaps.
Granson had career-lows in targets (nine), catches (seven) and receiving yards (40) after signing a one-year deal with the Eagles in the 2025 offseason.
The Colts made him a fourth-round pick in 2021, and he totaled 86 receptions for 958 yards and a touchdown in 62 regular-season games in Indianapolis.
The DWI case against Jets defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat was dismissed, because of insufficient evident, TMZ Sports reports.
Prosecutors filed the motion to dismiss, saying they cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt the “element of intoxication,” according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Sweat was arrested by Austin, Texas, police in the early morning hours of April 7, 2024, after a rollover crash on Interstate 35. Sweat’s SUV was hit from behind by a sedan, whose driver fled on foot.
Police said Sweat had “glassy eyes” and his car smelled of “burnt marijuana.”
His attorney, E.G. Morris, released a statement to TMZ.
“He was involved in an accident that was not his fault, and he was lucky to come away from it with no lasting injuries,” Morris said. “I commend the Travis County Attorney’s Office for carefully reviewing this case and coming to the conclusion stated in the motion to dismiss.
“Some may say he received special treatment. He got the treatment that I hope every citizen will receive in these circumstances. Professionalism from the prosecutors. The evidence simply didn’t support the charge.”
The Titans selected Sweat with the 26th overall pick in the 2022 draft, and he spent his first two seasons in Tennessee. The Titans traded him to the Jets, and the trade became official on Thursday.
He has 85 tackles, eight for a loss, with three sacks and a forced fumble in his career.
The big-spending Titans are not done making moves in free agency.
Tennessee has agreed to a two-year contract with former Washington defensive end Jacob Martin, according to multiple reports.
The 30-year-old Martin has had a circuitous NFL career: Originally a 2018 sixth-round pick of the Seahawks, he has also played for the Texans, Jets, Broncos, Texans again, Colts and Bears before signing with the Commanders last year. The Titans will be his eighth NFL team.
Last season may have been the best of Martin’s career: He played in all 17 games, starting 14, and recorded a career-high 5.5 sacks. The Titans will hope to see him continue to improve as another piece in an overhauled Tennessee roster.
The Cowboys have made a second trade on Wednesday, sending defensive lineman Solomon Thomas to the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The teams will swap seventh-round picks, with the Cowboys getting No. 218 overall and the Titans No. 225 overall.
The Cowboys will save about $2.5 million in cap space, with $750,000 in dead money.
It reunites Thomas with Robert Saleh. The two were together with the 49ers from 2017-20 and with the Jets from 2021-24, so last season, when Saleh was back in San Francisco and Thomas was in Dallas, was the only season they weren’t on the same team.
The Cowboys had a glut of defensive tackles as they switch to the 3-4 and sent Osa Odighizuwa to the 49ers earlier in the day.
Thomas, 30, played 16 games with two starts last season, totaling 27 tackles while playing 419 defensive snaps and 85 on special teams.
In his career, the third overall pick in 2017 has recorded 239 tackles, 18.5 sacks, 53 quarterback hits and three forced fumbles.
The Falcons are set to add some depth to their offensive line.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that they have agreed to terms with free agent Corey Levin. None of the terms of the deal have been reported or announced.
Levin was a 2017 sixth-round pick by the Titans and he’s played all 88 games of his NFL career with the team. Levin only started seven of those games, so he’ll be at home working behind a Falcons line that returns four starters and expects to get tackles Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton back from injuries that kept them out last year.
The move will also reunite Levin with offensive line coach Bill Callahan, who worked in the same role for the Titans for 23 games before leaving the team when his son Brian was fired as the team’s head coach last year.
The Commanders have agreed to terms with tight end Chig Okonkwo and safety Nick Cross, NFL Media reports.
Okonkwo, 26, will receive a three-year deal but terms were not disclosed.
He ranks 93rd on PFT’s top-100 free agents list.
The Titans made Okonkwo a fourth-round choice in 2022, and he played 68 games, with 42 starts, in his four seasons in Tennessee. He has 194 receptions for 2,017 yards and eight touchdowns in his career.
Cross, 24, will sign a two-year deal worth up to $14 million, per NFL Media.
The Colts made Cross a third-round pick in 2022, and he appeared in 67 games, with 38 starts, in his four seasons in Indianapolis.
He has totaled 322 tackles, 3.5 sacks, five interceptions, 12 pass breakups and two forced fumbles.
The Titans have made a lot of moves to add players to their roster over the last few days and they made one to hold onto one of their own on Wednesday.
They announced that they have used an exclusive rights free agent tender on wide receiver Bryce Oliver. They previously re-signed defensive lineman C.J. Ravenell and guard Garrett Dellinger without going the tender route.
Oliver won’t be able to negotiate with other clubs and will likely sign the tender at some point before the start of the offseason workouts.
Oliver only appeared in three games last season and had one catch for eight yards. He had six catches for 95 yards in 10 2024 games and has also seen action on special teams.
