The Titans also tendered restricted free agent Quinton Spain, the team's starting left guard during the past two seasons.

Spain started 14 games and both postseason contests at left guard in 2017, one season after starting 13 games in 2016. Spain, who initially joined the team as an undrafted free agent out of West Virginia in 2015, took over as a regular starter at the end of his rookie season.

On Wednesday, the NFL announced Spain led the league in performance-based pay compensation, which rewards players who play a lot of snaps.

King had four tackles and a sack in the regular season. He was scheduled to become an exclusive rights free agent.

The official start of the NFL's free agency period is 3 p.m. Wednesday.
