The Titans released Rob Bironas, their kicker since 2005, on Wednesday, the team announced. "We want to thank Rob for his nine years of service to the Titans. He has been an outstanding kicker and we appreciate him both for his contributions on the field and in our community," general manager Ruston Webster said in a statement. Bironas was due a $250,000 roster bonus and a $2.875 million base salary in 2014, the second year of a two-year, $6.675 million contract. He collected a $1.5 million signing bonus with that deal, so the Titans will carry a $750,000 cap charge for him in 2014. The team is expected to replace him the same way it replaced Gary Anderson in 2005 -- by searching for a young player it can develop like it did when it found Bironas. Assistant special teams coach Steve Hoffman helped develop Ryan Succop in Kansas City and Dan Carpenter in Miami. Carpenter is now in Buffalo. Bironas thanked the Titans organization and fans in a statement posted on his website. Source: ESPN
Man that is the end of an ERA. He will be picked up by someone he is still a very good kicker and will get a roster spot at a much cheaper rate
