The Tennessee Titans signed former Denver Broncos safety Tedric Thompson to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Thompson played eight games for the Kansas City Chiefs last year, but he was cut in November. He signed with the Broncos late last month but was released on Sunday. The 26-year-old was a fourth-round pick in 2017 by the Seattle Seahawks, and he racked up 52 solo tackles, three interceptions and five passes defensed in 29 games (16 starts) in his first three seasons with the Seahawks. Thompson signed with the Cleveland Browns late last year but didn't make an appearance before being released. He'll merely serve as secondary depth for Tennessee in training camp.
Seattle Seahawks safety Tedric Thompson must practice sprawling tip drills at home. A week after making an unbelievable bobbling interception to help put away the Rams, Thompson was on the receiving end again when he laid out in the his own end zone to snag a tipped pass just before it landed on the turf. This time, the refs gave him the benefit of the doubt and let him run it out to the 17-yard line. The Seahawks Defense didn't hold Cleveland to a pretty number of points, but they racked up the extracurriculars in the form of three interceptions, a fumble recovery, and a blocked punt. They're no Legion of Boom, but they're also 5-1 on the season, so they're doing something right.
