Tennessee Titans catcher Rishard Matthews will be released Thursday after asking to advance after a slow start to the 2018 season.

Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com shared the word of the impending exit of Matthews Thursday after Austin Stanley from A to Z Sports (h / t ESPN & # 39; s Adam Schefter) first reported the departure of the receiver on Wednesday.

Stanley received a text from Matthews, who said he was more pleased with the team:

"EVERYTHING IS GOOD! JUST DOES NOT HAVE HAPPINESS WITH WHAT'S WHAT IS LOW TIME OF PLAY.THE IS TIME TO MOVE."

Receiver missed practice on Wednesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said for personal reasons, according to Wyatt.

The 28-year-old also created an article on Instagram Wednesday with a photo of his family stating that he was not returning to work.

"When Dad comes home for good," the legend read. "Unless someone calls her down the couch."

Matthews has appeared in all three games this year, but has only three catches for 11 yards. According to Pro Football Reference, he played only 50% of the offensive snaps for the Titans in 2018.

While he is recovering from a torn meniscus that has limited him to the pre-season, this is still far from what we expected from the veteran.

In his first two years in Tennessee, Matthews had 118 catches for 1,740 yards and 13 touchdowns. He signed a one – year extension before the season, keeping him under contract until 2019 with a base salary of $ 7.75 million for next year. However, he seems to want to start from scratch after struggling to get enough clichés with the team.

Once Matthews is on the open market, other teams will probably give him an opportunity before too long.
