Titans Sign Kicker Joey Slye

The Tennessee Titans signed former New England Patriots and Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to agent Glenn Schwartzman. Slye signed with the Patriots last year and beat out Chad Ryland for kicking duties. The 28-year-old then went 26-for-33 on his field-goal attempts (6-for-9 from 50-plus yards) and 25-for-26 on his extra-point tries in 17 games played. The Titans will be the sixth team that Slye has kicked for in his NFL career after going undrafted out of Virginia Tech in 2018. He has a career 81.7 percent success rate on his field-goal attempts in 95 games played. He's currently the only kicker on Tennessee's roster, but it wouldn't be a surprise for the Titans to bring in competition for training camp this summer. Slye is unlikely to be much of a fantasy option in 12-team leagues this fall.

Lorenzo Carter Inks Deal With Tennessee

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that the Tennessee Titans have signed veteran edge rusher Lorenzo Carter to an undisclosed contract. The 29-year-old spent the last three seasons with Atlanta after being selected by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Carter played 13 games with the Falcons in 2024 and registered the team's third-most snaps off the edge. However, he failed to record a sack for the first time in his career. He'll join a Titans' defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per game in the league (311.2) but the third-most points per game (27.1). Tennessee is a gritty team, and the veteran should be a boost as a rotational piece for the organization. Still, he won't be a factor for fantasy.

Titans Bring Julius Chestnut Back On One-Year Deal

The Tennessee Titans are re-signing running back Julius Chestnut to a one-year contract, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Chestnut signed with Tennessee after going undrafted in 2022 out of Sacred Heart University, and he has contributed on special teams and offense over the last three seasons. Overall, the 24-year-old has logged 31 rushes for 102 yards, five receptions for 52 yards, four tackles, and one fumble recovery in 23 career games. While Chestnut is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in 2025, the run of unfortunate injury luck for backup running back Tyjae Spears keeps him on the fantasy football radar in the deepest of fantasy football leagues. That said, if the Titans select a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft at any point, Chestnut could be a cut candidate after training camp.

Titans Not Actively Shopping Will Levis, Could Make Deal On Draft Night

According to Terry McCormick of Titaninsider.com, the Tennessee Titans are not actively or currently shopping quarterback Will Levis. However, he said the team could strike a deal on draft night to ship the 2023 second-round pick. There were reports on Tuesday that teams have called regarding Levis' availability, but the Titans are keeping all options open, and a trade is not inevitable. In 21 games with Tennessee, the Kentucky product has thrown for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. While all signs point toward the Titans selecting Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the organization could opt to keep Levis as a backup or trade him down the line when Ward potentially officially becomes the selection at the top of April's draft.

Kirk Cousins, Will Levis On The Trade Block?

A league source told Josina Anderson that both Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins and Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis came up in recent preliminary trade inquiries or internal discussions. "Atlanta has been getting calls," the league source said, while also saying, "the Titans would like to transition." The Falcons continue to say they're willing to pay Cousins top money to serve as their backup in 2025, and they even kept him past last Saturday's $10 million guarantee deadline. However, Cousins doesn't want to be a backup, and Atlanta could give in if they get the right return, although they'd probably have to eat some money, too. The Titans are clearly ready to move on from Levis, who was benched last year, but it remains to be seen what kind of trade market he'd even have. It's looking a lot more likely that the Titans may hang onto the No. 1 overall pick and take Miami QB Cam Ward.

Chidobe Awuzie • CB • Titans

Chidobe Awuzie Released By Titans

Tennessee Titans defensive back Chidobe Awuzie has been released by the organization on Saturday. This is an interesting move considering Awuzie signed a three-year deal with Tennessee last offseason. His first season in Tennessee was a disappointment, but it's a bit surprising to see the Titans giving up on him so quick. Awuzie recorded 26 tackles, four passes defended, and one interception in eight games (seven starts) with the Titans last season. He was limited to eight games due to injury, but that's not too shocking considering Awuzie hasn't played a full season since 2019. Despite the injury history, Awuzie should have a decent market as a free agent.

Brandon Allen • QB • Titans

Brandon Allen Joining Titans Quarterback Room

Free-agent quarterback Brandon Allen is signing a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Allen was originally a sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Arkansas and has spent time with five NFL organizations. Overall, the 32-year-old has completed just under 57% of his passing attempts for 1,810 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 18 career games (one start). He'll now join Will Levis in Tennessee's quarterback room, and the Titans seem to be signaling that they are leaning toward picking a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It would not be a surprise if Levis is dealt for a late-round pick, and Tennessee selects Miami quarterback Cam Ward next month.

Titans Sign Dre'Mont Jones To One-Year Deal

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones on Wednesday to a one-year, $10 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones will head to the AFC South after spending the last two years with the Seattle Seahawks, where he had 77 tackles (40 solo), 8.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 25 QB hits and a forced fumble in 34 games (23 starts). The 28-year-old defensive end's numbers in 2024 were his lowest since his rookie season in 2019 with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos originally took him in the third round (71st overall) in 2019 out of Ohio State. In his six seasons in the NFL, Jones has 210 total tackles (116 solo), 30.5 sacks, 40 tackles for loss, 63 QB hits, one interception, seven pass breakups, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Tennessee will be looking to pair him with Sebastian Joseph-Day alongside Jeffery Simmons.

Kevin Zeitler Signs One-Year Deal With Titans

Former Pro Bowl offensive guard Kevin Zeitler is signing a one-year, $9 million deal with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Zeitler will head to the AFC South after spending the 2024 season with the Detroit Lions, where he started in 16 regular-season games. The 35-year-old did not play in the Divisional Round loss to the Washington Commanders due to a hamstring injury but should be fully healthy for the start of the 2025 campaign this fall. He's been extremely durable in his 13-year NFL career, starting 197 of the 198 games he's appeared in since making his NFL debut in 2012 after the Cincinnati Bengals made him a first-round selection. Zeitler will be a no-doubt starter on Tennessee's offensive line in 2025, but it remains to be seen which quarterback he'll be protecting.

Van Jefferson Inks Deal With Tennessee

The Tennessee Titans are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million. Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reported the news. The former Florida Gator spent one season in Pittsburgh, accumulating just 24 receptions, 276 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games. Jefferson played the second-most snaps of all Steelers wideouts with 755 (George Pickens). The 28-year-old has eclipsed 370 receiving yards only once in his career (in 2022 with the Rams) but figures to slot in as the team's second WR behind incumbent primary option Calvin Ridley. He'll now vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyler Boyd and Treylon Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo. Jefferson regularly disappeared last season, recording one catch or fewer in nine appearances, and will be difficult to trust as a viable fantasy option in 2025 despite the change of scenery.

Xavier Woods • S • Titans

Xavier Woods Signs With Tennessee

Former Carolina Panthers safety Xavier Woods has signed a new two-year, $10 million deal with the Tennessee Titans. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. Woods spent the last three seasons in Carolina, leading the team in tackles with 119 in 2024. Perhaps most impressively, he started all 17 games and played 100% of Carolina's defensive snaps (1,218). The former sixth-round pick will now join his fourth team since being selected by Dallas in the 2017 NFL Draft and should provide a sure-tackling asset for the Titans while working in tandem with fellow safety Mike Brown, who is returning to the team on a one-year deal. Tennessee still has some work to do on the offensive side of the ball, but they've shored up a defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per game in the league a season ago (311.2).

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine • WR • Titans

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Takes His Talents To South Beach

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. The agreement is worth $6.5 million, with $3.2 million guaranteed. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off his best season as a pro in 2024. Despite not snagging his first catch until after the Titans' bye in Week 5, he'd go on to set career-highs with 497 yards and an impressive nine TDs. However, he posted just one game with more than three receptions. It's an interesting move for Miami, who continues to load up the offensive side of the ball. The 27-year-old's path to touches is not a clear one, as he'll vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as Jonnu Smith, who broke out last season, leading the team in receptions (88).

Cody Barton • ILB • Titans

Cody Barton Joins Titans On Three-Year Deal

Free-agent linebacker Cody Barton agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal on Monday with the Tennessee Titans, his agents told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It's a big pickup for the Titans and a big loss for the Denver Broncos after Barton posted three straight seasons of 100-plus combined tackles with the Broncos, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders. In his lone season in Denver, the 28-year-old had 106 tackles (53 solo), 1.5 sacks, two interceptions, five pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in 17 regular-season games (14 starts). After three straight strong seasons with three different teams, Barton will head to the fourth team of his NFL career and is expected to be Tennessee's starting inside linebacker. While Barton has only 3.5 sacks in his six NFL seasons, he'll be on the fantasy radar in deeper IDP leagues because of his tackling ability alone.

Dan Moore Jr. • OT • Titans

Dan Moore Agrees To Four-Year, $82 Million Deal With Titans

Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore agreed to a four-year, $82 million contract with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $50 million guaranteed and $30 million in Year 1. Moore was a fourth-round pick by Pittsburgh in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M and has started in 66 career games. The 26-year-old has started at both right and left tackle, but 2024 first-round pick J.C. Latham played right tackle at Alabama before starting at left tackle in his rookie campaign, so it remains to be seen where each player will suit up to begin the 2025 season. This signing should provide a boost for Tony Pollard and whoever starts at QB in Nashville moving forward.

Keondre Coburn • DL • Titans

Titans Retain Keondre Coburn, Otis Reese

The Tennessee Titans announced on Friday that they extended the contracts of exclusive-rights free-agent defensive tackle Keondre Coburn and linebacker Otis Reese (ankle). Coburn, 24, played in 15 games (one start) in his first full season with the Titans in 2024 but had only 14 tackles (seven solo). He originally was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round (194th overall) in 2023 out of the University of Texas. Coburn will return to the Titans in 2025 for interior defensive line depth. Reese, 26, played in 13 games (two starts) in 2024 in his second year in Tennessee but ended the year on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury. In his 13 games played, Reese had 17 tackles (eight solo), his first career interception and a pass breakup. Reese will return to the Titans in 2025 and will primarily be a special-teamer.

Harold Landry III • OLB • Titans

Titans Release Harold Landry III

The Tennessee Titans released pass-rusher Harold Landry III on Friday, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Titans signed Landry to a five-year, $87 million contract in 2022 but will release the outside linebacker this offseason to save $10.9 million against the 2025 salary cap. That figure will increase to $17.5 million if the team designates him as a post-June 1 cut. The 28-year-old led Tennessee's defense in 2024 with nine sacks and also had 15 tackles for loss and 15 QB hits in his 17 starts. He has three straight years with at least nine sacks, including a career-high 12 in 2021, so he will receive plenty of interest on the open market. Landry's 83.1 percent of the defensive snaps played led the team's linebacking corps. He was given permission to seek a trade at last week's NFL Combine, but nothing materialized.

Harold Landry III • OLB • Titans

Harold Landry Granted Permission To Seek Trade

The Tennessee Titans are permitting outside linebacker Harold Landry to seek a trade, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 28-year-old has two years remaining on his current deal with Tennessee, but there are no more guarantees on his contract. Since being selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Landry has racked up 397 tackles, (251 solo), 50.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, two interceptions, and 12 pass deflections. The former Boston College Eagle appears to be on his way out of Tennessee after appearing in 98 regular-season games for the organization. The Titans hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and could look to replace Landry with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. Contending teams should have interest in trading for Landry, who has at least nine sacks in each of the last three seasons.

Treylon Burks • WR • Titans

Treylon Burks Could Use A Fresh Start Elsewhere

The move to trade wide receiver A.J. Brown and replace him with Treylon Burks (knee) was one of the worst personnel moves in Tennessee Titans franchise history, and one of the worst in recent NFL memory, and The Athletic's Joe Rexrode thinks the Titans need to stop waiting for Burks to be a factor. Rexrode points out that Burks' 2025 salary cap hit and dead-money number are both $4.6 million if the Titans cut him, and he thinks it's totally worth doing to move on and give Burks a fresh start. The 24-year-old former first-rounder in 2022 has played in only 27 of a possible 51 games due to injuries and also had surgery in 2024 to address damage to his ACL. When Burks has been on the field, he's done very little, catching 53 passes for 699 yards and one touchdown. There's no guarantee that Burks can turn it around with Tennessee or another organization, though, especially coming off his knee injury.

Tyler Boyd • WR • Titans

Tyler Boyd Unlikely To Return In 2025

The Nashville Post's John Glennon writes that it's hard to imagine that Tennessee Titans impending free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd will be back in 2025. The Titans believed that Boyd's experience with head coach Brian Callahan from their time with the Cincinnati Bengals would make him a valuable piece of the offense in 2024, but that just didn't come to fruition. The 30-year-old pass-catcher only produced 39 catches for 390 yards and no touchdowns in his 16 games for Tennessee, his lowest totals since 2017, his second year in the league. Boyd was a decent target for quarterbacks Will Levis and Mason Rudolph on third downs, but his lack of production for the Titans this past season will likely lead them to let him walk in free agency this March. In addition to 2024 being a big disappointment, it was also his first season without finding the end zone.

Mason Rudolph Takes Over For Titans In Second Half

Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph took over as quarterback in the second half as Will Levis took a seat. The Titans could only muster up three points in the first half as Levis completed three of his five throws for 31 yards and was sacked once. Both quarterbacks have posted eerily similar stats this year, but Levis has started in one more win over Rudolph. They aren't playing for anything other than a better draft pick, so this seems to be a tryout to see if the team will hang on to both signal callers going into next season.
