The Tennessee Titans have made a strategic move by signing defensive tackle Jordan Elliott to a two-year, $8 million contract, sweetened with $500,000 in incentives. This deal brings Elliott back under the guidance of Robert Saleh, reuniting the pair after their stint in San Francisco, where Saleh served as the 49ers' defensive coordinator.
Elliott, originally a third-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2020, carved out a solid presence during his four seasons there, playing in 66 games. His journey then took him to the 49ers in 2024, where he signed a two-year contract as a free agent.
Last season, Elliott showcased his skills in 16 games, tallying 31 tackles, two quarterback hits, and a pass defensed. Over his career, he's appeared in 97 games, amassing 148 tackles, five sacks, and five passes defensed.
This signing signals the Titans' intent to bolster their defensive line with a player familiar with Saleh's system, potentially enhancing their defensive prowess. Fans will be eager to see how Elliott's reunion with Saleh translates on the field, as the Titans look to make a significant impact this season.
