NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans released veteran linebacker Harold Landry III on Friday to clear salary cap space.
The seven-year NFL veteran had been due to count $24.1 million against the salary cap for the 2025 season, but releasing Landry puts Tennessee seventh in the league with more than $63 million in cap space, per Spotrac.com. The Titans, who began making moves during the season to rebuild their roster, also have the No. 1 pick in next month’s draft.
The Titans also announced contract extensions with defensive lineman Keondre Coburn and linebacker Otis Reese.
Landry led the Titans with nine sacks last season, when he also had 41 quarterback pressures and set a career high with 15 tackles for loss. The 6-foot-2, 252-pound linebacker, who played outside in Tennessee’s base defense, was one of only three NFL players with at least 70 tackles and 15 tackles for loss in 2024, joining Brian Burns of the New York Giants and Andrew Van Ginkel of the Minnesota Vikings.
The No. 41 pick of the 2018 draft after earning All-Atlantic Coast Conference recognition during his Boston College career, Landry’s best pro season to date was in 2021, when his career-high 12 sacks earned his lone Pro Bowl nod and led to a five-year contract extension the following March.
