Correa played in 16 games (five starts) for the Titans last season, totaling five sacks and 37 combined tackles. He was pushed into a more prominent role after Cameron Wake was placed on Injured Reserve.
During the postseason, Correa stepped up even more with two sacks and 13 combined tackles.
The 25-year-old, who was originally drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens, has served as a valuable depth piece for the Titans since joining the team in 2018.
He will once again take on that role in 2020, as he serves as a backup to Vic Beasley and Harold Landry off the edge.
Tennessee now has six outside linebackers under contract for next season, including Correa, Beasley, Landry, 2019 fifth-round pick D’Andre Walker, undrafted free agent Derick Roberson, and Reggie Gilbert.
