The Tennessee Titans decided to part ways with veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins on Tuesday, which not only clears $6.9 million in cap space, but also paves the way for 2021 first-round pick, Caleb Farley, to start in 2022.
Tennessee signed Jenkins in free agency last offseason as a stopgap option at the cornerback position. He went on to start opposite Kristian Fulton, and Jenkins played well after a rough start to the season.
After signing Jenkins, the Titans went on to draft Farley with the hope that he would eventually take the starting role. However, Farley struggled out of the gates in 2021 and never came close to taking Jenkins’ job, and to make matters worse Farley’s season ended early due to a torn ACL.
