Three-time Pro Bowl S Quandre Diggs signing with Titans reunites with former Seahawks teammate Jamal Adams

Three-time Pro Bowl safety Quandre Diggs 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 Sunday on social media, which was confirmed through various media reports. Per NFL Networkthe contract is for one year and $3 million, with an additional $2 million in incentives available.

Diggs, 31, is a nine-year NFL veteran. He played his first four-plus seasons with the Detroit Lions before joining the Seahawks in 2019 in a midseason trade in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. The deal paid off for the Seahawks, as Diggs made the Pro Bowl after three straight seasons from 2020-22.

Diggs’ performance declined in 2023, and the Seahawks released him in March before the non-guaranteed third year of a three-year, $39 million contract extension. The Seahawks released Adams on the same day, three years after making the former Jets All-Pro the highest-paid safety in football. Adams signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with the Titans in June.

Now Diggs and Adams are back together as Tennessee’s projected starting safeties while playing at a considerable discount from their salaries in Seattle. If either of them can regain some semblance of their prime form, the Titans will have built a safety suite with considerable value.

In his three Pro Bowl campaigns, Diggs averaged 4.7 interceptions and eight passes defended per season. In 2023, Diggs recorded one interception and five passes defensed in 17 games. He allowed a career-worst 103.9 passer rating in passes that aimed at him. His previous career worst was a 92.7 passer rating allowed in his first full season in Seattle.

The Titans added Adams and Diggs in an AFC South featuring some of the most promising young quarterbacks in football. Former No. 1 overall draft pick Trevor Lawrence made a Pro Bowl and is entering his fourth NFL season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Indianapolis Colts are hoping for a breakout campaign from last year’s fourth-place finisher, 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 won Rookie of the Year honors and generated MVP buzz for next season.

The Titans have their own young quarterback in second-year pro Will Levis and are trying to build around him on both sides of the ball.
