The Titans announced they are releasing Landry after seven seasons.
By cutting Landry, Tennessee saves $10.9 million in cap space. That figure increases to over $17 million if the Titans designated Landry as a post-June 1 move.
Last month, the Titans granted Landry permission to seek a trade. However, no offers ever came through, leading the Titans to cut Landry.
The Titans selected Landry in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Landry was named to the Pro Bowl in 2021 after a career-high of 12 sacks.
Landry has nine straight sacks in three consecutive seasons, including nine in 2024. He played the highest percentage of defensive snaps (83.1%) for the Titans’ linebackers.
After signing a five-year, $87 million contract during the 2022 offseason, Landry suffered a season-ending ACL injury during the summer.
The Titans own the No. 1 pick and have spoken with Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter.

Landry can now sign with any team as he prepares for free agency.
Many teams will be interested in signing a pass rusher like Landry.
Per BetOnline, the New England Patriots (+400) are the favorites to sign Landry.
The Patriots have the most cap space ($125 million) in the NFL, per Overthecap.com.
New England will be very aggressive in free agency. With a defensive-minded coach in Mike Vrabel, the Patriots will look to strengthen their pass rush. If they strike out on Josh Sweat, Landry could be a viable alternative.
After the Atlanta Falcons (+500), a trio of NFC East teams — Washington Commanders (+500), New York Giants (+700), and Philadelphia Eagles (+700) — all have potential needs at edge rusher.
Of the three NFC East rivals, the Commanders have the most cap space ($81 million).
