The Tennessee Titans have had an explosive beginning to free agency, signing stars like Wan'Dale Robinson and John Franklin-Meyers, as well as key depth pieces like tight end Daniel Bellinger and quarterback Mitch Trubisky. However, despite a busy day, the Titans seem far from done as they add another key piece to their defense.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport on social media, the Titans have cornerback signed Aontae Taylor, who spent the last four seasons with the New Orleans Saints. Taylor will sign a three-year deal worth $60 million, with $42 million guaranteed.

Titans Get Versitle Corner in Alontae Taylor

Taylor is certainly confident in his abilities, going on Sirius XM's NFL channel before the beginning of free agency to assert himself as the best corner on the market.

"I'm one of the best free-agent players coming out," Taylor said. "I definitely feel like I'm the best free-agent corner coming out. Just that versatility, man. Being able to play inside, play outside, and be able to help any team at whatever they need. Feeling like I could possibly be that CB1 for a team, and if I ever have to go into the slot to guard your best receiver who you move into the slot, I've shown that I can go in there and play comfortably."

"I feel like I bring a lot of attributes to the table," he continued. "Like I said before, I do feel like I'm one of those best guys available, and I feel like a lot of teams out there feel the same way."
