Titans RE Kamerion Wimbley destroyed the Cardinals in Thursday night's third preseason game, racking up two sacks and three tackles in just over two quarters of action.
He had countless pressures that didn't qualify as "sacks," tormenting John Skelton. Wimbley has played primarily linebacker to this point in his career, so there were some questions about his position switch to right defensive end. While he was admittedly squaring off with a brutal Arizona pass protection group, Wimbley was nothing short of dominant in the regular season tuneup. Fri, Aug 24, 2012 06:34:00 PM

Kamerion Wimbley - DL - Titans

Titans RE Kamerion Wimbley says he received interest from the Patriots, Bengals, Seahawks, and Packers before signing with Tennessee.

Appearing on Sirius/XM NFL Radio, Wimbley said the Bengals and Seahawks were his most ardent suitors outside of Tennessee. Of the teams pursuing Wimbley, the Titans had the most anemic pass rush in 2011, and were surely the most desperate after their flirtation with Peyton Manning cost them a shot at DE Mario Williams.

Kamerion Wimbley - DL - Titans

Titans signed DE Kamerion Wimbley to a five-year, $35 million contract.

The deal includes $13.5 million guaranteed. Wimbley was already guaranteed $6.5 million following his release from the Raiders. He's an excellent consolation prize for a team that missed out on Mario Williams as it got bogged down in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes, and should greatly improve a pass rush that notched just 28 sacks in 2011. That was good for 31st in the NFL. Wimbley has essentially been a 3-4 outside linebacker for most of his career, but he will play right end in Tennessee's 4-3 defense. He's notched at least 6.5 sacks each of the past three seasons. The Titans have a lot of pass-rush potential, with Derrick Morgan a full year removed from ACL surgery on the left end and the explosive, high-motor Wimbley rushing off the weak side.

Kamerion Wimbley - DL - Titans

Adam Caplan of thesidelineview.com reports free agent OLB Kamerion Wimbley and the Titans are "close" to a five-year deal.

Negotiations will pick up again Tuesday morning. The highest-impact free agent left on the market, Wimbley would make for a nice consolation prize after the Titans lost out on Mario Williams while preoccupied with Peyton Manning. A 28-year-old pass rusher with 16 sacks over the past two seasons, Wimbley would slot in at defensive end in the Titans' 4-3 defense.

Free agent OLB Kamerion Wimbley will visit the Titans on Monday.

The Titans were expected to make a push for Mario Williams before getting bogged down in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes, but signing Wimbley would be the next best thing. Wimbley hasn't generated any public interest since his Friday release, but has almost certainly been generating significant interest behind the scenes. He's the top remaining free agent with Manning off the board.

The Bears are expected to "monitor" free agent OLB Kamerion Wimbley.

Teamed with Julius Peppers, Wimbley would give the Bears the league's most fearsome pass-rushing duo, but it's unlikely Chicago has the money to be a serious suitor after re-signing DE Israel Idonije.

Raiders released OLB Kamerion Wimbley.

Wimbley was one of the league's top pass rushers last season, but the Raiders simply couldn't afford his $11 million 2012 salary. That's despite the fact that $6.5 million of it was fully guaranteed. Wimbley is now easily the market's top available defender, and should draw another huge contract after re-upping with the Raiders for five years and $48 million last August.

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports the Raiders will release OLB Kamerion Wimbley on Friday.

Wimbley is one of a handful of veterans, including Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb, Ravens LT Bryant McKinnie, Eagles CB Joselio Hanson, and Bills DE Spencer Johnson, with roster bonuses due. With Mario Williams out of the picture, Wimbley will immediately become the most attractive pass rusher on the market.

League sources tell NFL Network's Jason La Canfora that the Raiders will formally announce the release of OLB Kam Wimbley on Tuesday.

Kevin Boss' release actually hasn't been formally announced yet. Per La Canfora, Boss and Wimbley's releases will be announced together. Wimbley will hit the market as a 28-year-old pass rusher with 16 sacks over the past two seasons and versatility to fit both a 3-4 defense as a linebacker and a 4-3 scheme as a defensive end. Wimbley would be an awfully nice fallback plan for teams that miss out on top free agent pass rusher Mario Williams.

CSN New England's Tom Curran is "hearing" the Patriots will not pursue OLB Kamerion Wimbley if he's released by the Raiders.

There's been speculation that the Pats, in need of a pass-rusher, would be in the mix, but we've seen nothing convincing. The Bears are expected to take a "long look" at Wimbley, and the Chargers and Cardinals have also been mentioned as potential landing spots.

The Browns aren't expected to consider re-signing OLB Kamerion Wimbley if he's released by the Raiders.

Wimbley reportedly "loved his time" in Cleveland, but the tight-fisted Browns won't be interested in meeting his price tag if he reaches the open market. The delay in Wimbley's release suggests the Raiders are exploring ways to keep him, but he remains most likely to become a free agent.

Scout.com reports the Raiders haven't spoken to OLB Kamerion Wimbley in "several days," and that "all signs" are pointing toward his release.

The Raiders were expected to announce a decision on Wimbley's future by Friday, but have remained silent. It could be a sign there's still an outside chance Wimbley returns on a restructured deal. If not, he'll hit the open market with $6.5 million already guaranteed for 2012.

The Raiders are expected to make a decision on OLB Kamerion Wimbley's future by the end of the day on Friday.

To this point, all indications suggest Wimbley is not amenable to a pay cut because he's set to become one of the most sought after free agents. That being the case, the Raiders are expected to release him rather than guaranteeing $17.5 million.

The Bears are expected to take a "long look" at OLB Kamerion Wimbley if he's released by the Raiders.

Wimbley was reportedly the Bears' "No. 1 target" as the "ideal 4-3 defensive end to pair with Julius Peppers" last offseason before re-signing with the Raiders. The Chargers, Cardinals, and Patriots are three other teams expected to pursue Wimbley if he's granted his freedom, as expected.

Kamerion Wimbley - DL - Titans

ESPN's Bill Williamson expects the Raiders to release OLB Kam Wimbley barring "a major change," and suggests the Chargers could be the favorites to land Wimbley in free agency.

Wimbley's agents haven't spoken to Raiders team brass in "several days," and Williamson reiterates that Wimbley is not amenable to any pay reduction. Williamson is just speculating on San Diego as the potential front-runner, but it makes sense. The Chargers are desperate for a pass rusher capable of handling heavy snaps, and they know Wimbley well from the division.
