Pollard and the Titans reached a notable agreement, with the running back signing a $24 million, three-year contract, according to sources familiar with the deal.
In addition to the running back position, the Titans addressed other areas of their team, focusing on both their secondary and offensive line. Cincinnati cornerback Chidobe Awuzie agreed to a lucrative three-year deal worth $36 million, including $23 million guaranteed. Meanwhile, Denver center Lloyd Cushenberry solidified the Titans’ offensive line with a four-year contract valued at $50 million, with $26 million guaranteed.
With the departure of Henry, who has been a staple of the Titans’ offense for years, the team will now turn to a new generation of running backs. Last season’s draft pick, Tyjae Spears, served as Henry’s backup and is expected to take on a more prominent role in the upcoming season. As Henry enters free agency for the first time in his career, the Titans are prepared to embark on a new chapter in their backfield.
