The Tennessee Titans have some serious adjustments to make this offseason after going 3-14 in 2024. They started the 2025 offseason by firing general manager Ran Carthon and bringing in Mike Borgonzi to replace him. Brian Callahan remains the head coach, and while Colt Anderson remains with the team, he is no longer the special teams coordinator.
Aside from staff changes, there are likely to be a number of adjustments made to player personnel. To that end, Over the Cap created a list of the top 100 cut candidates for 2025, and there are four Titans on that list.
LB Kenneth Murray
Kenneth Murray is due $7.5 million in 2025, but none of it is guaranteed. He has completed one year on his two-year contract and, according to OTC, has a 58% chance of a negative fate. These are the reasons they have him as a cut candidate, although the likelihood that Murray is cut is slim. He led the Titans in tackles with 95 (57 solo) and added 3.5 sacks, eight tackles for a loss, two passes defensed, one interception, and one forced fumble.
The Titans can get more out of him in a trade if they work the deal right, but the Titans also like Murray and may not want him to go anywhere at all.
EDGE Arden Key
Linebacker Arden Key was second in sacks this year with 6.5. He added in 42 tackles (24 solo), 11 tackles for a loss, one pass defensed, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. He’s in the second year of a three-year contract and is set to receive $7 million in 20205. However, none of that is guaranteed, and OTC says his contract has a 73.1% chance of a negative fate.
EDGE Harold Landry III
Harold Landry is owed $17.5 million in 2025, the second year of his two-year contract. None of it is guaranteed, and OTC’s negative fate chances are set at 51.2%. However, Landry led the team with nine sacks and added 71 tackles (42 solo), 15 tackles for a loss and four passes defensed. He was a leader on the defense and helped out on special teams as well. It’s highly unlikely that the Titans cut Landry this year.
S Amani Hooker
Amani Hooker is set to make $8.39 million in 2025, but again, none of it is guaranteed. He has completed two years of the three-year extension to his rookie contract, and OTC has his negative fate chances at 75.4%. However, Hooker led the Titans with five interceptions in 2024. He was the fourth leading tackler with 71 tackles (47 solo), four tackles for a loss, nine passes defensed, and two forced fumbles. Hooker has been with the Titans since they drafted him in 2019, and he has performed well. There are no indications that the Titans will cut him at this time.
