Three-time Pro Bowl safety Quandre Diggs has agreed to terms with the Titans, bolstering Tennessee’s secondary and reuniting him with safety and former Seattle Seahawks teammate Jamal Adams.
Diggs announced the deal On Sunday on social media, which was confirmed through multiple reports. By NFL NetworkThe contract is for one year and $3 million with $2 million more in incentives available.
Diggs, 31, is a nine-year NFL veteran. He played his first four seasons with the Detroit Lions before joining the Seahawks in 2019 in a midseason trade for a fifth-round draft pick. The deal paid off for the Seahawks, as Diggs made the Pro Bowl after three straight seasons from 2020 to 2022.
Diggs’ performance declined in 2023, and the Seahawks released him in March before the third non-guaranteed year of a three-year, $39 million contract extension. The Seahawks released Adams the same day, three years after turning the former Jets All-Pro into the league’s highest-paid safety. Adams signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal with the Titans in June.
Now Diggs and Adams are back together as Tennessee’s projected starting safeties, albeit at a significant discount to their salaries in Seattle. If either of them can regain some of their prime, the Titans will have built a safety tandem of considerable value.
In his three Pro Bowl campaigns, Diggs averaged 4.7 interceptions and eight passes defensed per season. In 2023, Diggs recorded one interception and five passes defensed in 17 starts. He allowed a career-worst 103.9 passer rating on passes targeted at him. His previous worst passer rating was 92.7 in his first full season in Seattle.
The Titans added Adams and Diggs to an AFC South that features some of the most promising young quarterbacks in football. Former No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence has been selected to the Pro Bowl and is entering his fourth NFL season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Indianapolis Colts are hoping for a breakout season from last year’s No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson, whose rookie season was cut short by injury.
Houston Texas second-year quarterback CJ Stroud is coming off a historic rookie campaign that earned him Rookie of the Year honors and generated MVP rumors for next season.
The Titans have their own young quarterback in second-year pro Will Levis and look to build around him on both sides of the ball.
