The Tennessee Titans will not be retaining cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting in 2024, as the veteran has reportedly agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals in free agency.
The news comes from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. The deal is for three years and $25.5 million, which is a significant boost in pay from the one-year, $5 million deal Murphy-Bunting got from the Titans in 2023.
I’m good with the Titans not paying that.
SMB was inked to be the Titans’ No. 2 cornerback opposite Kristian Fulton. He had an OK season and was a serviceable No. 2 option, but he also had his fair share of lapses in coverage and backbreaking penalties.

With SMB now on his way to the desert, the Titans have a pair of starting cornerback spots to fill, as Fulton is also expected to leave Nashville.
The Titans reportedly have Cincinnati Bengals pending free agent cornerback Chidobe Awuzie at the top of their list of free-agent targets, so he’s one possible solution.
