The Titans dealt offensive offensive guard Andy Levitre to the Falcons in exchange for a sixth-round pick on Friday, the Titans announced.
A conditional pick in a future draft year is also part of the trade.
The Titans handed the veteran a six-year, $46.8 million deal two years ago and he started all 96 games in his six year NFL career.
The emergence of Byron Bell in his place, however, during the team's last three exhibition games made him an expensive reserve player. He would have been due $6.5 million this year, the second-highest paid man on their roster.
Atlanta needed a veteran boost on the interior of their front protection as they look to protect quarterback Matt Ryan, who they expect to have a breakout campaign in 2015. Ryan was the fifth-most productive quarterback in the NFL last season.
