Report: Titans expected to release Bud Dupree

The Tennessee Titans are expected to release pass-rusher Bud Dupree, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Dupree reacted to the news on Twitter on Monday but has since deleted the tweet.

The 30-year-old Dupree signed a five-year, $82.5-million contract in March 2021. He struggled with injuries after inking the deal, playing only 21 games. The injuries halted his production, and he racked up 35 tackles and seven sacks in his two years with the Titans.

Before signing in Tennessee, Dupree emerged as one of the better young pass-rushers in the NFL. He had 39.5 sacks in his first six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
