Bud Dupree Fantasy

Free-agent linebacker Bud Dupree agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with the Falcons. The 30-year-old signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Titans in 2021 after spending six years in Pittsburgh. However, after appearing in only 22 games in the last two seasons, Tennessee opted to move on, releasing him in March. Dupree has totaled 266 tackles and 46.5 sacks during his career, so it's obvious he's not lacking skill. But in order to make a difference for IDP managers, Dupree will need to stay healthy.

The Tennessee Titans are expected to release pass-rusher Bud Dupree, according to sources. The former big-ticket free agent was due $17 million in 2023, but the Titans are going to reallocate their resources elsewhere under new general manager Ran Carthon. Dupree played in only 11 games last year and ended the year with a pectoral injury that could cause him to miss offseason workouts with his new team. In total, he racked up just 18 tackles (14 solo), six tackles for loss, nine QB hits, four sacks and two fumble recoveries for the Titans in 2022. Dupree was a disappointment the last two years in Tennessee with only seven sacks, 27 solo tackles, eight tackles for loss, and 17 QB hits in 22 games (17 starts).

The Tennessee Titans placed linebacker Bud Dupree (abdomen) on injured reserve Saturday. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Dupree is expected to return in a few weeks. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return on December 19 as the Titans have a bye in Week 13. He has racked up seven tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble over seven games this season. Olasunkanmi Adeniyi should see an increased role and uptick in snaps while Dupree is sidelined.
