NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Titans released cornerback Malcolm Butler on Tuesday three years into the five-year deal he signed in March 2018, according to his agent Derek Simpson. Butler signed for more than $60 million in March 2018 after leaving New England as a free agent. He was due $11 million in base salary this season and $11.2 million in 2022. Releasing Butler is expected to save the Titans more than $10 million against the salary cap as they try to create space for free agency. Butler started 36 of 41 games for Tennessee.
