The Tennessee Titans have already made several notable moves during free agency this offseason, but one of the more underrated transactions of the free agency period was finding a way to keep a valuable depth piece in offensive lineman Corey Levin
Levin recently signed a new one-year veteran’s minimum contract for $1.08 million, per Spotrac. However, the deal is only going to account for just $940,000 on the Titans’ books in 2023.
Truth be told, both parties came away winners with this mutual agreement. The veteran lineman gets another opportunity in the NFL, while Tennessee gets to keep a versatile depth piece at a low cost.
Levin has steadily improved his overall game ever since he was drafted in the sixth round back in 2017. The Tennessee-Chattanooga product finally got to showcase those improvements when he was forced into the starting lineup late last season while Ben Jones dealt with concussions.
Levin performed admirably, only allowing four pressures and one sack on 129 pass-blocking snaps. He finished the year by receiving a career-high pass-blocking grade of 81.6, per Pro Football Focus.
While Levin figures to be a backup when it’s all said and done, he’ll have an opportunity to compete for a starting job in training camp along an offensive line that has some question marks.
