Titans expected to release DE Brown

A couple of expected transactions to watch: According to a league source, the Titans will release DE Tony Brown, and the Lions will cut LB Jordon Dizon.
Brown, 30, has started every game he has played for the Titans the last four seasons. He registered 3.5 sacks last season after signing a three-year contract extension worth $17 million as a restricted free agent. The eight-year veteran was a Pro Bowl alternate after finishing with five sacks in 2009.
Dizon, a second-round draft pick of the Lions in 2008, played in 28 games as a special-teams contributor in his first two seasons, but he missed all of 2010 after a major knee injury in the preseason.
