The Titans have reached an agreement with second-round pick Oluwafemi Oladejo, according to NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero<\/a>, completing their 2025 draft class signings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Oladejo\u2019s deal is worth $8.415MM over four years, the first three of which are fully guaranteed along with a $2.76MM signing bonus. That represents a massive jump from last year\u2019s No. 52 pick, Adonai Mitchell<\/a>, who only received guarantees on 47.7% (700k) of his Year 3 salary, per OverTheCap<\/a>. Oladejo received 52.3% more guaranteed salary in Year 3, which will push him well above Mitchell\u2019s overall guarantees worth 65% of his rookie deal.<\/p>\n

Though Oladejo\u2019s contract is significantly stronger than past players in the same draft slot, it is somewhat weak compared to the rest of the 2025 second-round pick market. 85% of No. 54 pick Anthony Belton<\/a>\u2018s Year 3 salary was fully guaranteed by the Packers, per OverTheCap<\/a>; a few days later, No. 53 pick Benjamin Morrison\u00a0reached 96% on his Year 3 guarantees in his deal with the Buccaneers<\/a>. Initial reports of Oladejo\u2019s contract did not mention any guarantees past the third year, so a mere 4% increase over Morrison in Year 3 guarantees seems disappointing after Morrison received 11% more than Belton in the same category.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Oladejo\u2019s rookie contract completes an impressive year for the 21-year-old. After spending his first three college seasons \u2013 two at Cal and one at UCLA \u2013 as an off-ball linebacker, he moved to the edge in 2024 and finished the season with 4.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. Oladejo surged up big boards throughout the draft process and was consistently pegged as a Day 2 pick before the draft. He will now have an opportunity to compete for a starting role in a Titans defense that lost Harold Landry<\/a> this offseason and did little to replace him in free agency. Seven-year veteran\u00a0Arden Key<\/a> will likely be one of Tennessee\u2019s starting edge defenders, and Oladejo should push\u00a0Lorenzo Carter<\/a> to be the other.<\/p>\n

Oladejo was the final Titans draft pick to sign his rookie deal;<\/p>\n
