Free agency has begun in the NFL, and the Tennessee Titans have wasted no time making moves.
Tennessee entered free agency — the negotiation period opened Monday, with players having been allowed to officially sign with new organizations on Wednesday — with about $89 million in cap space and several roster needs to address.
The Titans’ first move was signing quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to serve as the backup to Cam Ward. He joins Tennessee after spending last season in Buffalo backing up Josh Allen. Trubisky has experience working with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll from their time together with the Bills.
Trubisky was the first of several players with connections to Daboll to land in Tennessee. Former New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal. During his time in New York under Daboll, Bellinger recorded 88 catches for 934 yards and established himself as a reliable target.
Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, another former Giant, agreed to a four-year, $78 million contract. Robinson, who primarily lines up in the slot, recorded a 1,000-yard season in 2025. His speed should give the Titans an explosive option in the passing game.
The Titans also made changes along the offensive line. The team released starting center Lloyd Cushenberry III, creating another need up front. While Tennessee could still add a starting-caliber center, the franchise agreed to a one-year deal with former Giants center Austin Schlottman to add depth at the position.
Tennessee also signed Bengals offensive lineman Cordell Volson to a one-year contract. Volson started for Cincinnati for three seasons but missed the entire 2025 season due to injury.
The Titans’ first defensive move came with the addition of defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers from the Denver Broncos. He agreed to a three-year, $63 million deal that includes $42 million guaranteed. Franklin-Myers previously played in Titans head coach Robert Saleh’s defensive system with the New York Jets and recorded 7.5 sacks last season. He is expected to form a strong pairing with Jeffery Simmons on Tennessee’s defensive front.
Tennessee also made it clear the secondary was a priority. The Titans signed former Giants cornerback Cor’Dale Flott to a three-year, $45 million deal. Shortly after, they added former Tennessee Volunteer Alontae Taylor on a three-year contract worth $60 million, with $42 million guaranteed. Taylor recorded 59 tackles with the New Orleans Saints last season.
The Titans also agreed to a two-year deal with Chiefs cornerback Joshua Williams. Since 2023, Williams has allowed just a 51.6 percent completion rate when targeted, the fifth-best mark among players at his position.
Free agency is still in its early stages, but Tennessee has already taken steps to reshape its roster on both sides of the ball.
