Titans Add Another CB, Sign Former Chief Joshua Williams

The Tennessee Titans had perhaps the most eventful day of any team on the first day of free agency, with their signings total nearing a ludicrous double-digit cume. The latest of which, after two additions to the secondary earlier in the day, comes in the form of yet another cornerback for Robert Saleh's defense.

The third time around (the charm), former Kansas City Chiefs spy Joshua Williams has officially been made a Tennessee Titan. According to Tom Pelissero, who rightfully noted that "The Titans aren't done," Williams' move to Nashville will be on the condition of a two-year deal.

Joining Cordale Flott and Alontae Taylor, the Titans essentially revamped their CB room in one day, and immediately out of the gates. The latter, late-night move appears to be more for the purpose of depth than anything else, but all the same, it's more strength for a bunch that desperately needs it. And any need met, especially to such an extreme extent, is a major win this early in the offseason.

Adding Extra Depth at CB

Williams, who has long been a complimentary corner for the Chiefs' defense over numerous years of high-level playoff competition, has 97 career tackles and one interception to his name. He may join the Titans for containment measures more than anything else, but Super Bowl experience will be taken in any form that it comes, especially for Tennessee.

To boot, per PFF, Williams' completion rate allowed (51.6%) since 2023 is the fifth best among any player at his position. Even given his small sample size, that's elite ball-stopping.

The Temporary Cherry on Top

It's unclear whether or not the aforementioned Saleh and his staff are done ripping and running on the free agency scene, but no matter what happens next, it's been a knockout first day for the new and improved Titans.

It's also possible that Tennessee could add to the secondary with one of their numerous draft picks, too, a facet of the franchise's current liquidity that many could forget in all the hubbub caused by free agency thus far. Look at it however you like, the Titans can move in just about any direction they like, at any position, with their current allocation of resources.

Williams' signing is the sort of cherry on top of the first day's cycle; that is, if Saleh doesn't work into the night. At this rate, it wouldn't be safe to count him out.
