Titans' Taylor Signing: Worth the Risk?

On April 15th, the Tennessee Titans went all out in free agency this off-season,

splashing cash to rebuild their roster after starting with the most.

Cap Space in the League.

They targeted their secondary hard, losing top cornerbacks and needing Vets fast.

One big move was signing cornerback Alentay Taylor from the New Orleans Saints

on a three-year deal worth about $19 million a season with, 42 million in guarantees.

A bleacher report piece just called that, signing one of the 10 worst free agency moves of

2026. They ripped Taylor's stats from last year, pointing to a passer rating against the 98.2,

six touchdowns allowed in coverage, and 94 targets, putting him near the top in all the wrong ways.

Saints coach Kellen Moore sees it different, praising Taylor's versatility inside and out,

calling him talented with his best ball ahead.

After 53 starts over four seasons in New Orleans, he's got real experience the Titans need

right now. But hold up, that bleacher take got some holes.

They compare Taylor's pay to Trent McDuffie's massive 31 million a year with the Rams,

but the real numbers show Taylor's base at 44.0.4 million total versus McDuffie's 97.5.

Titan spent smart, not reckless. As training camp heats up, we'll see if Taylor locks down

that secondary or proves the critics right either way, Tennessee's banking on his upside to.

Turn things around this fall.
