Robert Saleh: Titans Could Add Veteran CB Depth

There were five Titans cornerbacks who garnered more than 300 snaps last season; only one of them, slot CB Marcus Harris, is still on the roster. The team used free agency to plug some of their openings. They gave former Saints CB Alontae Taylor a three-year, $60MM deal, and they signed former Giants defensive back Cor’Dale Flott to a three-year, $45MM pact. The two free agent acquisitions are currently penciled in for starting roles on Tennessee’s defense.

Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley is also high on another free agent addition. Former Chiefs CB Joshua Williams inked a modest two-year deal with the Titans this offseason and is expected to be the team’s top depth option on the outside. Bradley lauded Williams’ length while reaffirming that he’d likely be the top backup behind Taylor and Flott (per Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com).

While Harris is penciled in as the team’s top slot CB, he earned notable praise from his head coach. Saleh told reporters to not “sleep” on the 2025 sixth-round pick, noting that Harris is “going to be a fun one to watch” (per Wyatt). This could be an indication that the 25-year-old could also contribute on the outside, although that would force the coaching staff to identify another candidate for the slot role. The rest of the team’s current depth consists of Micah Robinson, Keydrain Calligan, Erick Hallett, and a handful of UDFAs.

As for reinforcement, there are still some names remaining in free agency. It’s hard to imagine the team investing in the likes of Marshon Lattimore, Trevon Diggs, or old friend L’Jarius Sneed, especially since the organization seems content with Taylor and Flott leading the way. However, a veteran who’s used to a backup role could be a logical target for the Titans, especially if their current depth proves to be underwhelming.
