Perhaps no position in free agency got as thin, as fast as the kicker market.

Now the Titans are looking for one.

According to Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean, the Titans are releasing veteran Rob Bironas.

They’ll save $2.875 million against the cap with the move, but there aren’t many experienced options to replace the guy who spent his entire career with the Titans.

Most of the free agents were quickly re-signed by their teams, with old man David Akers and Rian Lindell and Lawrence Tynes among the few experienced kickers on the street.

But the Titans must be convinced they can replace him with someone as consistent on field goals (including 7-of-10 from 40 and beyond) at a cheaper price tag, with more of a leg for kickoffs.
