Michael Griffin has said that he would not be surprised to be cut to help the Tennessee Titans meet their salary cap requirements next season.

The safety signed a four-year contract worth an estimated $35m (£21.3m) in 2012, but is due to take up $8m on their 2014 cap.

The 29-year-old told The Tennessean: "I realise I count $8m toward the salary cap, so I have to worry about myself. At the end of the day, I am questioning my fate. You have to ask yourself, do they think you are worth that? I hope so, but this is a business."

Griffin, who was a first-round Draft pick in 2007, made 61 tackles, one interception and two forced fumbles in 2013.
