The Tennessee Titans keep turning over the cornerback room, even after pouring more than $110 million into the position earlier this offseason. On Saturday, they moved on from undrafted free agent Jeadyn Lukus and brought in veteran cornerback Mario Goodrich, the team announced. Goodrich now gets a shot to win a 53-man roster spot at training camp.
General manager Mike Borgonzi came into free agency knowing cornerback needed a major reset. He addressed it with Alontae Taylor on a three-year, $58 million deal and Cor'Dale Flott on a three-year, $45 million contract. Taylor and Flott are lined up to be Robert Saleh's boundary starters in 2026.
The Titans also added Joshua Williams as the top reserve at corner, but Borgonzi and Saleh still want more behind those names. Goodrich is now the second veteran cornerback to join the team this week, after Nazeeh Johnson signed on as well.
Goodrich entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Clemson after the 2022 NFL Draft and has spent the years since hanging around the NFL in search of a longer stay. He has also had two separate runs with the Birmingham Stallions of the United Football League.
Tennessee signed three undrafted rookie cornerbacks after the 2026 NFL Draft, but the group has already been trimmed down. Lukus and Latrell McCutchin are gone after only a handful of training camp practices, cleared out to make room for Johnson and now Goodrich. That leaves Tennessee's undrafted rookie Jalen McMurray of Tennessee as the last man standing from the original trio.
The top of the depth chart is easy enough to map out. Taylor, Flott, Marcus Harris, and Williams are locked into their roles, while Micah Robinson and Keydrain Calligan remain in the mix as in-house contenders for the last spot or two. Johnson and Goodrich just add more veteran pressure to a competition that is still very much alive.
Goodrich played in 10 games during the 2026 UFL season, finishing with 13 tackles, one interception, and five pass breakups. Now he gets one more chance to stick, and this time it comes with the Titans' 53-man roster race.

Calvin Ridley Gives Titans Receiver Room An Early Reason For Hope
Calvin Ridley is giving the Titans receiver room a steady early boost as training camp settles in, and there are reasons for optimism beyond just his name recognition. The veteran wideout is entering his third season in Tennessee with the clear focus on helping the team win while also keeping himself healthy after injuries slowed him last year. After recently shaking off a stomach bug, he was back on the field for a full practice, a small but encouraging step for a group that needs stability.
Head coach Robert Saleh has pointed to Ridleys experience and readiness as the kind of presence that can help the offense find its footing early. For Tennessee, the bigger question is how quickly Ridley can settle in and turn that promise into production once the games start, especially with the receiver room looking for a dependable voice and a reliable target.
