The Tennessee Titans are parting ways with one of their most established veterans. Per atozsports' Buck Reising, the team is releasing center Ben Jones.
Jones signed a two-year, $14 million deal with the Titans last offseason and delivered a Pro Bowl season, so his cut is a bit of a surprise. He has started 108 games for the Titans since 2016, earning above-average grades from Pro Football Focus for seven straight years. He'll be 34 years old before the start of the regular season, but for any team needing an experienced, hard-nosed offensive lineman, he could be a solid addition.BREAKING: The Titans are releasing center Ben Jones https://t.co/wWb33bqfEF

Jones' release is a testament to the brutal business of the NFL at this time of the year and another indication that the Titans are preparing for a significant rebuild. They've reportedly flirted with trading superstar running back Derrick Henry and long-time quarterback Ryan Tannehill. They currently sit at a little less than $13.3 million under the cap, per overthecap.
