The Tennessee Titans have locked up arguably their most important pending free agent of this offseason, outside linebacker Harold Landry.
Per multiple reports, the Titans and Landry have agreed on a five-year deal worth $87.5 million, with $52.5 million guaranteed. Landry is now the highest-paid outside linebacker on the team, surpassing Bud Dupree.
Landry’s deal also ranks him in the top 10 of the highest-paid edge rushers in the NFL, per Over the Cap. He lands in ninth and tied for ninth in total value and annual average, respectively.
According to Paul Kuharsky, Landry’s 2022 cap hit will be around $5 million or so, which is great news for a cap-strapped team like Tennessee that goes into the offseason about $7.8 million over the cap.
Titans fans had a long day waiting for something to happen, and while there was a bit of concern after the franchise tag deadline came and went with no action, ultimately it all worked out for those who wanted to keep Landry.
Now, a look at how Landry’s Titans teammates and the rest of Twitter reacted.
