Titans Sign Former Cowboys, Lions Cornerbacks, Defensive Lineman

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran cornerback Amani Oruwariye to a one-year deal as part of their efforts to bolster their secondary following a disappointing 2024 season. Oruwariye, who previously played for the Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Dallas Cowboys, is expected to provide veteran experience and compete for playing time in Tennessee's crowded cornerback room. His tenure with the Cowboys included a notable special teams error in a 2024 primetime game, though his former special teams coordinator John Fassel, now with the Titans, defended him and emphasized that the mistake should not define his career. In addition to Oruwariye, the Titans signed veteran defensive lineman Carlos Watkins, releasing Abdullah Anderson to make room. Watkins brings experience from multiple teams and is expected to enhance the Titans' defensive line rotation. These moves are part of the Titans' broader strategy to rebuild after a 3-14 season, including adding quarterback Cam Ward and strengthening their offensive line.
