A story that ends without having really begun. This Thursday, the Titans officially cut Bud Dupree.
The linebacker arrived in the spring of 2021 with a big contract at $ 16.5 million per year. It was two years ago, to the day.
Except that the mayonnaise never really took. In two seasons, Dupree played 22 games. He managed 7 sacks in addition to his 35 tackles, but his numerous absences never really allowed him to feel that he was establishing himself over time as one of the leaders of the Nashville defense.
The departure will save the Titans $9.35 million in payroll, while tying up $10.85 million. dead money.
Dupree is 30 years old. If he regains form, he could remain a good option in an already fleshed out rotation.
