The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with cornerback Alontae Taylor on a three-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The move brings the former New Orleans Saints standout to Nashville as the Titans continue to aggressively bolster their roster this offseason.
Per Rapoport, the deal is worth a total of $60 million and includes $42 million in full guarantees. The contract was negotiated by agent Trevon Smith of Athletes First. Taylor, who has been a key fixture in the Saints secondary, now transitions to a Titans defense looking to improve its pass coverage for the upcoming season.
The acquisition of Taylor represents a significant investment in the secondary for the Titans. After establishing himself as a rising star in New Orleans, Taylor is expected to take on a primary role in the Tennessee defensive backfield immediately. The Saints lose a versatile defender as they navigate their own roster changes, while the Titans solidify their commitment to defensive improvement.
