NFL Roster Cuts: Titans Release QB Chris Simms, S Myron Rolle, RB Samkon Gado

The Tennessee Titans cut 20 players on Saturday to trim their team down to the NFL mandated 53-man roster, and among the casualties were QB Chris Simms, RB Samkon Gado and S Myron Rolle.

Rolle, you may remember, is everyone's favorite football player delayed a career in the NFL for a bit so he could study at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He missed part of the Titans' minicamp in May (because he had finals), and that certainly didn't help his chances, especially on a team deep at the safety position.

Noticeably absent among Tennessee's cuts was punchy RB LeGarrette Blount -- he made the 53-man roster, and will form an impressive Titans' running back corps along with Chris Johnson and second-year man Javon Ringer.
