Veteran defensive tackle Jordan Elliott is joining the Tennessee Titans, marking a reunion with head coach Robert Saleh. Elliott has signed a two-year contract valued at $8 million, with the possibility of reaching $8.5 million. This move adds depth to Tennessee's defensive line.
Elliott, a six-year NFL veteran, was a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent his initial four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, recording 98 tackles and five sacks over 66 games. He then signed with the San Francisco 49ers in March 2024, where he had the opportunity to work with Saleh, who was then the defensive coordinator for the 2025 season.
Now, Elliott will serve as a key reserve on the interior of the Titans' defensive line. He will play behind established players like Jeffery Simmons and John Franklin-Myers, who recently signed a significant three-year, $63 million deal.
