The Tennessee Titans are looking to replicate the incredible AFC Championship run they were on in January. Unfortunately, they have to cut some players in their pursuit to finish the job this time. Delanie Walker will be one of the players who would have to leave as Tennessee hopes to complete the run they fell short of obtaining last season.

The 35-year-old tight end had to be released as his snaps and production with the Titans diminished over the past two seasons. And with the Titans ever so close to making the Super Bowl, they will be eager to upgrade their receiving corps to help Derrick Henry have an easier time running.

Walker, who spent seven years with the Titans, understood the nature of the business. As recorded by Titans Wire's Mike Moraitis, the now-free agent is happy with how his time in Nashville turned out.

“I knew I was coming into an organization with a goal of helping to rebuild a culture, bring leadership to a locker room and set a standard of winning for the Tennessee Titans.

In my seven seasons here I am proud of the work we’ve done to achieve those goals. For every hard-fought catch or last-minute comeback win, I’ll also remember each and every person that made my time here special.

My teammates, my coaches, Titans fans, the entire organization, Miss Amy and everyone who supported my work with the Delanie Walker Gives Back Foundation—thank you.

I’ll look back at my time with the Titans with gratitude for not only my time on the field, but the people in our great community of Nashville. Thank you for inspiring me to give my all to this team—I did it for you. “

First signing with the team in 2013, Walker played 84 games for the Titans. He made 4423 receiving yards and 28 touchdowns. He was also named a Pro Bowler from 2015-2017 while playing for the Titans.
