The Tennessee Titans released former University of Hawaii quarterback Cole McDonald on Wednesday, the same day the team announced it had agreed to terms with veteran QB Trevor Siemian.
The Titans selected McDonald in the seventh round of the NFL draft in April. McDonald, who decided to forgo his senior season in order to enter the draft, left UH having passed for 8,032 yards and 70 touchdowns while also rushing for another 880 yards and 12 TDs in his college career.
Siemian will compete with Logan Woodside for the backup QB spot behind Ryan Tannehill. In five years in the NFL, Siemian has played for the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets. He has started 25 games and played in 27.
The Titans also signed tight end Geoff Swaim, running back Marcus Marshall and wide receiver Krishawn Hogan. They waived running back Dalyn Dawkins, wide receiver Kyle Williams and tight end Parker Hesse.
