In 2009, the Miami Dolphins signed Wake from the CFL.<\/p>\n<p>The 37-year-old had a tremendous career with the Dolphins appearing in five Pro Bowls. He was also a one-time first-team All-Pro and three-time second-team All-Pro. Wake has a career 360 tackles and 98 sacks, needing only two more to be a part of the 100-sack club.<\/p>\n<p>Wake&#8217;s departure from the Dolphins ends a tremendous personal era, but a lowly team era. Wake appeared in only one playoff game in his 10-year Dolphin career. The departure will be tough for fans to swallow as he is number two all-time in Dolphins history for sacks, trailing only Hall of Famer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/TaylJa03.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Jason Taylor<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wake suffered a torn Achilles tendon in 2015 but never missed a beat. He followed up with 11.5 and 10.5 sacks the two following seasons. Even with reduced snap counts, Wake produces at a high level and will provide an immediate impact for the Titans pash rush.<\/p>\n<p>The move allows Wake to give it one last chance in receiving that elusive Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Wake attended Penn State and was a proficient\u00a0player who recorded 191 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and 24 tackles for loss. He split time between linebacker and defensive end.<\/p>\n<p>In the CFL, Wake was a two-time CFL Most Outstanding Defensive player and two-time CFL All-Star. Wake was also voted to be a part of the CFL All-Decade team for the 2000s.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"rVmWchuYRwtzGJHt9AkWLA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1088828522\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'rVmWchuYRwtzGJHt9AkWLA',sig:'t0HEV5lo9qyhkRUuRkCf1MG9X3mQBoMIOgY-1yuY0iY=',w:'594px',h:'432px',items:'1088828522',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After spending 10 years with the Miami Dolphins, defensive end Cameron Wake has agreed to a three-year deal with the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2922,"featured_media":61225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,11],"tags":[1266,61,89],"class_list":["post-61078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-titans","tag-cameron-wake","tag-football","tag-miami-dolphins"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2922"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
