The Tennessee Titans reportedly made their second signing of free agency on Tuesday when the team agreed to terms on a two-year deal with former Dallas Cowboys linebacker, Luke Gifford.
Gifford, who is expected to play on special teams mostly and challenge for a role on defense, can make up to about $5 million in his deal, per ESPN’s Todd Archer.
For more specifics on the contract, we turn to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, who reports the deal is for two years and $4 million at its base, with $1 million guaranteed and a $500,000 signing bonus.
It can reach up to $5 million via $500,000 in annual playtime incentives, and Gifford can make an extra $15,000 per game with active roster bonuses. The contract carries base salaries of $1.24 million ($500,000 guaranteed) in 2023 and $1.745 million in 2024.

The signing of Gifford comes on the heels of Tennessee not re-signing David Long, who ended up with the Miami Dolphins. Gifford could help plug that hole, but he doesn’t figure to land a full-time starting job.
