The Tennessee Titans have signed more than a dozen players in unrestricted free agency. General manager Mike Borgonzi has been incredibly busy reshaping a roster that's endured consecutive 3-14 campaigns. The turnover will continue, with second and third waves of free agency, plus the 2026 NFL Draft.

Acquiring so many fresh faces means room was needed to accommodate them. The Titans haven't shown much interest in re-signing their own free agents. Long snapper Morgan Cox and kicker Joey Slye have been the only re-signings to date.

Tight end Chig Okonkwo and EDGE Arden Key are among the departures. A slew of underrated depth contributors have also signed elsewhere. The Titans recently waved goodbye to the following three additional players.

Titans lose three more depth players to NFL free agency

A fan favorite, the writing was on the wall for Corey Levin when the Titans signed a similar player in center Austin Schlottmann. Schlottmann previously played for new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, making him a fit. The Titans had interest in retaining Levin, sources told Titan Sized, but it wasn't a priority. The Atlanta Falcons pursued him more seriously, and he agreed to reunite former offensive line coach Bill Callahan.

Safety Mike Brown was a quality depth player and special teams ace. He's joining the New England Patriots, where he'll reunite with former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, joining a slew of ex teammates in Foxboro. The Titans need to add a depth safety this offseason, preferably via free agency. Oft-injured starters Amani Hooker and Kevin Winston Jr. don't have enough options behind them.

Darrell Baker Jr., CB

The Titans have totally revamped the cornerback room, acquiring Alontae Taylor, Cor'Dale Flott, and Joshua Williams to play the position in a new-look defensive backfield. Depth corner Darrell Baker Jr. has since signed with the Miami Dolphins in response. It feels like the Titans chose Williams over Baker Jr, prioritizing a player Borgonzi knew from his time with the Chiefs.
