Titans To Sign P Tommy Townsend

It’s a two-year deal for the punter worth up to $6MM, per Schefter. Townsend sticks in the AFC after spending the start of his career with the Chiefs and Texans.

Townsend joined the Chiefs as a UDFA in 2020 and proceeded to spend the next four seasons as their punter. He led the NFL in playoff punts and punt yards during each of Kansas City’s most-recent Super Bowl wins, and he earned a first-team All-Pro nod with the organization in 2022.

He inked a two-year deal with the Texans ahead of the 2024 campaign and ended up playing out his entire contract. He downed close to 50 percent of his punts inside the 20 during his time in Houston, and he tallied the longest punts in both the 2024 and 2025 playoffs.

The Titans moved on from three-year punter Ryan Stonehouse ahead of the 2025 campaign, turning to Johnny Hekker in his place. The veteran averaged 46.8 yards on his punts this past season while landing 28.2 percent of them inside the 20. He’s currently a free agent after inking a one-year, $1.42MM deal with the organization last offseason.
