Tennessee Titans Cut Roydell Williams, Biren Ealy

The Titans have started the process of trimming their roster down to 53 players.  While not cuts are official yet, some of them have leaked out.  The players that have been cut so far are Biren Ealy, Jamie Petrowski, Ingle Martin, John Vaughn, Cary Williams, Edward Williams, Tony Joiner, Omar Cuff, Marquice Cole, Tuff Harris, Jerrell Freeman, Isaac Snell, Jason Murphy, Enoka Lucas, and Fernando Velasco.

Ealy was a guy a lot of us rooted for last seaosn, but he didn't seem to improve any from when he first got here until now. 

The fact that they cut Vaughn is a good sign that Rob Bironas is healthy enough to kick next weekend.

The Titans still have several moves that have to be made before the 3 p.m. deadline.  Stay tuned..

[UPDATE]- DT Antonio Mookie Johnson has also been released.  Good thing I had him down as a lock yesterday.  Johnson was a 5th round pick last season, but missed the whole year after tearing his ACL in the preseason.  He is a good candidate for the practice squad.

[UPDATE 2]- FB Casey Cramer, DE Sean Conover, DE Eric Taylor and FB Jeremy Cain have also been released. 

[UPDATE 3]- Well, another of my locks, S Calvin Lowry, bites the dust.

[UPDATE 4]- WR Roydell Williams is the final cut to bring the roster to 53.  This comes a year after he tied for the team lead in receptions.  Jeff Fisher had said before last week that Roydell needed a big week to stay, but most of us here agreed that Fisher was just trying to light a fire under Roydell.  Apparently he wasn't kidding.

Remaining?

Thanks for the quick updates! Any word on the remaining two cuts? Any thoughts on who they might be?

My best guess would be

Chris Davis and Paul Williams.

I imagined...

I figured Chris would get cut – Paul had a good camp, but I don’t see him staying over Roydell – What is this telling us about drafting WR’s in the middle to late rounds? I’m not one of those that gets irritated about our not drafting one in the 1st round, but I see where people are coming from. Hopefully Lavelle won’t have the same fate – He looks good, but he’s gotta stay healthy..

Well

I am 0-1 so far with Lowry being cut.

Cut by the 49ers today. Possibilities?

He is really fast

but he hasn’t proven anything in the NFL. I am not sure he is an upgrade over anything they already have.

Dude, without Roydell, they might as well bring him in.

Worst case, he is Tyrone Calico, part duex. Calico would EASILY make this year’s roster and might even be the #1 WR.

We need to run the ball, lots.

It’s really about Alge – If he can do what we need him to do, there really won’t be much of a problem with our offense getting yards. . . However, at least a LITTLE depth at the Wide Receiver position is something you must have to compete in the AFC South. My best guess is that we pick up a free agent, a less-experienced kid, and take a chance on him. (Or we can pay a veteran a lot more than he’s worth) . . .

Too late to pay a guy.

The time for that was earlier on. Now it’s strictly looking over the scraps. But… there’s gotta be SOMEBODY out there who’s better than B. Jones.
