The Titans have gained some cap space by restructuring the contract of one of their veteran defensive players.
Per Field Yates of ESPN, Tennessee has converted $10.965 million of safety Kevin Byard’s 2022 base salary into a signing bonus, which has created $8.772 million in cap room.
Byard is entering the third season of a five-year, $70.5 million contract extension he signed in July 2019.
He was an AP first-team All-Pro honoree for the second time last year, starting all 17 games and recording 88 total tackles, five interceptions, 13 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, and a sack.
Byard has not missed a game since entering the league as a third-round pick in the 2016 draft. He has 23 career interceptions and 57 passes defensed.
