NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have waived former Northern Iowa tight end Briley Moore to make room for safety Tyree Gillespie, who was acquired in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Titans announced the moves Wednesday with Tennessee sending a conditional seventh-round draft selection in 2024 to the Raiders for Gillespie.

The 6-foot Gillespie was a fourth-round pick in 2021 and played 11 games as a rookie for the Raiders. He had six special teams tackles along with a couple of tackles on defense. Gillespie started 27 of 41 games played in four years at Missouri where he had 6 1/2 tackles for loss, two sacks, 12 passes defensed and a forced fumble.

The Titans have been busy adding safeties in training camp. They also signed Adrian Colbert and Elijah Benton on Aug. 9.

Moore was an undrafted free agent signed by the Titans in 2021 out of Kansas State. He played his first three seasons at Northern Iowa before transferring out for his senior season.

Moore missed his entire rookie campaign with the Titans due to a torn ACL. He was competing for the No. 4 tight end spot in training camp.
