 Tennessee Titans: Kamerion Wimbley LB Kamerion Wimbley signed a five-year, $35 million deal with the Titans in
2012. He has earned $15.5 million in his first two seasons with the
team. The Titans asked Wimbley, who has 51.5 career sacks, to take a
pay cut and he agreed rather than possibly get released.
The Titans plan to move to a 3-4 defense under new defensive
coordinator Ray Horton. Wimbley would more than likely move to
outside linebacker.
Carolina Panthers: Avant, Jason
WR Jason Avant was signed by the Panthers. Avant received a one-year
deal.
"We are happy to have Jason with the Panthers," Carolina coach Ron
Rivera said in a press release. "He provides a versatile player at
receiver and brings good size as well as experience to the
position."
Avant was released by the Philadelphia Eagles last month in a
cost-cutting move. He was due a $1 million bonus on March 15. By
cutting Avant, the Eagles saved $3.25 million against the salary
cap.
Avant played his first eight NFL seasons in Philadelphia, and he
ranks 11th in team history with 297 receptions for 3,646 yards and
12 touchdowns.
Last season, he made a career-high 13 starts, and he finished with
38 receptions for 447 yards and two touchdowns. Each of the previous
two seasons, he topped 50 catches and 600 yards.
