NASHVILLE \u2013 The Titans have added another big piece to their defensive line.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the team signed former Broncos defensive end John Franklin-Myers.<\/p>\n
The move reunites Franklin-Myers with Titans coach Robert Saleh, who coached Franklin-Myers with the New York Jets before he was traded to the Broncos.<\/p>\n
The Broncos acquired Franklin-Myers in a trade with the Jets in 2024.<\/p>\n
In 2025, Franklin-Myers played in 16 games, with 15 starts, and he tallied 7.5 sacks and 15 quarterback hits. Since 2024, among interior defensive linemen, Franklin-Myers ranks 7th in the NFL in sacks (14.5) and 13th in pressures (95), per PFF.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-4, 288-pound Franklin-Myers had seven sacks in 2024 as the Broncos set franchise records for sacks in each of the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
A fourth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2018, Franklin-Myers has played in 114 career games, with 83 starts, and he’s tallied 200 tackles, 34 sacks and 35 tackles for a loss.<\/p>\n
The productive and durable Franklin-Myers started every game for the Jets in 2022 and 2023, and he started 31 of 34 games with the Broncos over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
Franklin-Myers played in college for the Stephen F.
