Nashville, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans surprisingly cut veteran quarterback Neil O’Donnell on Sunday as they trimmed their roster to the 53-man limit.
The Titans released O’Donnell in February to get under the salary cap, and coach Jeff Fisher stayed in close contact with the 13-year veteran over the next few months as the quarterback visited with Minnesota, New Orleans and Miami.
Tennessee finally re-signed O’Donnell in late June. But three-year veteran Billy Volek beat O’Donnell out as the No. 2 quarterback, leaving the veteran too expensive for a team needing money to add depth at other positions.
The Titans also cut fullback Greg Comella; defensive tackles Kevin Aldridge and Cedric Harden; running back John Simon; and cornerback Rober’ Freeman.
They also waived-injured safety Jesse Sowells and receiver Bryan Peterson.
