Titans Clear Six Roster Spots Ahead of Rookie Minicamp — What It Means for Tennessee's Depth Chart
By PropBetEdge Editorial Team ·
Roster churn in late April is when the real offseason construction begins — and Tennessee just handed us a blueprint.
The Tennessee Titans waived six players Thursday, per the team's announcement, creating room to absorb undrafted rookie free agents ahead of their rookie minicamp opening Friday. The cuts include edge rusher Ali Gaye, linebackers Nate Lynn and Cam Riley, defensive tackle Isaiah Raikes, guard Clay Webb, and running back Blake Watson. The team also designated defensive end David Ebuka Agoha as an international player, removing him from the 90-man roster count entirely — netting seven cleared spots in a single housekeeping move.
None of these are names that move the needle individually. Gaye accumulated nine tackles and one sack across 18 games over two seasons in Nashville, a fringe contributor at best. Watson never suited up for Tennessee — his two appearances came with Denver in 2024. What matters here is the organizational signal: the Titans are actively reshaping the bottom third of their roster, and the players coming in Friday will be competing for legitimate depth roles, not just camp bodies.
The running back room in Tennessee warrants attention. Watson's release leaves the backfield thinner behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. With the Titans still rebuilding around Will Levis — and a ground game that ranked 18th in rushing yards last season — any UDFA running back who emerges from this weekend's minicamp with buzz deserves immediate monitoring. Depth at that position in a Brian Callahan offense has direct downstream value.
From a prop-market standpoint, this move is low-impact in isolation, but it sets the table for a broader Titans roster story worth tracking through OTAs and training camp. Spears in particular is the name to watch — he's the most explosive back on this roster and stands to see an expanded role if no credible competition emerges. His receiving usage (42 receptions in 2024) makes him a legitimate target for receptions and receiving yards props once the season approaches. A thinner backfield depth chart concentrates opportunity, and that's exactly the kind of structural edge that pays off when August lines get posted.
