So far, it has been a busy week at the NFL Combine and it's only just begun. Already, we have heard plenty of great nuggets from Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan and new general manager Mike Borgonzi.
The Titans certainly plan to address their biggest need, this offseason, by giving quarterback Will Levis some competition at the position.
But, that's not the only thing in their immediate plans.
As of Wednesday morning, the Titans had also announced they are now allowing former Pro Bowl linebacker and pass rusher Harold Landry to seek a trade.
Landry has two years left on his deal and the 28-year-old has put up 31.5 sacks in his last three seasons.
The Titans may have a tough time trading Harold Landry
Although the last three years look consistent in terms of sack production, Landry has also been wildly inconsistent at times. It is for this reason, among many others, why sacks don't always tell the whole story.
But, when it comes to trading Landry and actually making a deal happen, the Titans might have a tougher time doing so than they imagine. Landry's cap hit for 2025 is just north of $24 million. That's a lot of money for a guy with decent, but not great, sack numbers.
The Titans can also save roughly $11 million by cutting him, which might also be the best-case scenario for Landry who would then get to choose where he lands, essentially.
Should the Titans, for some reason, choose to release him after June 1, they'd save $17.5 million in doing so.
Either way, prospective teams know the Titans' potential savings by releasing him and therefore may not have to give up anything to land him. Rather, if a team was really interested, they'd simply wait for a release and then pursue Landry as a free agent.
Landry isn't the type of player you'd have to do whatever it took to get him via trade, so waiting a little while until he's ultimately released would make a whole lot more sense.
Now, this is the NFL and anything can happen. But, it would not make a lot of sense for another organization to trade anything of merit for an inconsistent pass rusher set to count over $24 million against the cap in 2025.
