The move reunites Flott with Brian Daboll, who took over the Titans’ whistle earlier this offseason. This isn’t just a random signing; it’s a targeted acquisition. Flott spent 2025 proving he could handle the “island” life in New York, recording 11 passes defended and a forced fumble before a late-season knee injury sidelined him.
The Titans didn’t blink at the medical reports. The secondary in Nashville was a sieve last year, and Flott brings a specific brand of length and recovery speed that Daboll’s aggressive scheme requires. While some initial wire reports erroneously listed Flott as a receiver, his true value lies in shutting them down. He joins former Giants teammates Wan’Dale Robinson and Daniel Bellinger in what is quickly becoming “New York South.”
Walking through the Titans’ facility this morning, the vibe is electric. The front office is moving with a speed we didn’t see last March. They are no longer waiting for the market to settle; they are setting the price themselves. By paying Flott $15 million annually, the Titans have positioned him as the clear partner for L’Jarius Sneed.
“Coach Daboll knows what I bring. I’m a competitor. I don’t care if it’s the slot or the boundary—I’m coming for the ball. Nashville feels like home already, and we’re ready to take this division back.”

This signing effectively ends Tennessee’s desperate search for a CB2. With Flott and Sneed now anchored on the outside, the Titans can focus their remaining 2026 cap space on the offensive line and a potential edge rusher. The AFC South is currently an arms race, and by securing a young, ascending talent like Flott, Tennessee has neutralized some of the high-octane passing attacks in Houston and Indianapolis.
The focus now shifts to the draft. With the secondary stabilized, the Titans are no longer forced to reach for a corner in the first round. Instead, expect them to look for interior protection to help Cam Ward find his rhythm in his second professional season. The roster is finally starting to look like a playoff contender again.
