Free-agent offensive tackle Austin Deculus has reached an agreement to join the Tennessee Titans, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN. The veteran lineman joins the roster as the newest addition to the Titans' offensive front as the team continues its offseason preparations.
Deculus brings valuable starting experience to Tennessee, having appeared in the starting lineup for five games during the previous season. His arrival provides the Titans with additional depth and competition at the tackle position, a critical area of focus for the franchise as they look to solidify their protection units.
Prior to his stint as a free agent, Deculus entered the league as a sixth-round selection out of LSU, where he set a school record for games played. His professional experience includes time spent developing his skill set at the highest level, and he now joins a Titans squad that has been active in addressing offensive line needs through both the draft and free agency.
The specific financial terms and the length of the agreement between Deculus and the Tennessee Titans have not yet been made public. Deculus is expected to compete for a role in the rotation immediately as the team builds out its depth chart.
