The Tennessee Titans inked offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles to a one-year deal in free agency, but the full details of the contract were not immediately revealed when it was announced.
Thanks to Over the Cap, we now know Charles’ one-year deal is worth $1.5 million and includes $250,000 guaranteed, which comes from his signing bonus. The contract also has a $75,000 per game roster bonus.
Charles’ 2024 cap hit comes out to $1.5 million, but if he’s cut prior to the season, the LSU product would only cost a dead-cap charge of $250,000 while netting the Titans a savings of $1.25 million.
Here’s the full breakdown, per OTC:
The expectation has been that Charles, who has experience playing at guard and tackle (but mostly guard), would play a reserve role for the Titans, and this contract certainly shows that’s the right expectation.
And, based on the low total of guaranteed money, he’s far from a lock to make the roster, although I do think he’s got a good shot to.
