A surprise cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, wide receiver Tyler Johnson could be a perfect fit for the Tennessee Titans.
I first heard the rumors of Johnson's release a few weeks ago, when the Bucs were in Nashville for joint practices with the Titans.
The common belief amongst those close to the situation was that Tampa Bay could no longer make room for Johnson in a loaded WR room with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage, Julio Jones, and Scotty Miller likely to make the team.
The Bucs were going to have to make some tough cuts, and Johnson happened to be one of them.
Johnson will undoubtedly receive a lot of interest on the waiver wire from teams looking to bolster their WR core, and it shouldn't come as a surprise if the Titans wind up being one of them.
Tennessee got a good look at Johnson in person while the Bucs were in town, and the team may have an opening if they choose to move away from Dez Fitzpatrick.
Johnson has a 66.7% career catch rate, which is well above average, and has tallied 48 career catches and 529 career yards up this point.
He also brings a nice ability after the catch that could have a place in the Titans offense.
The Titans already worked out former Bucs WR Vyncint Smith, who they saw in person and was released last week, and it wouldn't surprise me if they had their eyes on Johnson as well.
The Titans are 26th in waiver priority.
