Tennessee Titans to release OLB Vic Beasley on Wednesday
The Vic Beasley experiment is coming to an end, as the Tennessee Titans have announced they have notified the outside linebacker that he’ll be released on Wednesday.
Beasley was signed by the Titans to a one-year, $9.5 million deal back in April but has had a myriad of issues since joining the team. He reported 10 days late to training camp and then missed the first two games of the season.
Since making his debut, Beasley has made zero impact and has failed to record a sack in five games. This move is general manager Jon Robinson admitting he made a mistake with the outside linebacker, who had questions about his commitment dating back to his days in Atlanta.
With Beasley gone, this will open the door for Derick Roberson to get playing time. Roberson has yet to play in a game this season due to injury, but he did total three sacks in three regular-season games in 2019.
Tennessee may also want to give training camp standout Wyatt Ray and veteran Tuzar Skipper a look. Both players are on the practice squad.
This move to release Beasley comes on the heels of the Titans also releasing cornerback Johanthan Joseph, who has struggled all season, and long snapper Beau Brinkley, who has struggled in each of the past two games.
The Titans have lost two games in a row and it’s clear that the time for patience and hoping that things will improve is over.
