Following a brief free agent tour, former Rutgers defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day has a new home. On Tuesday, Sebastian Joseph-Day and the Tennessee Titans agreed on a one-year deal, according to NFL Networks Jason McCourty. It marks the first time in his NFL career that the former sixth-round pick will not play for a California-based team.
Joseph-Day was a sixth-round pick out of Rutgers in the 2018 NFL draft.
Since making his NFL debut in 2019, Joseph-Day has appeared in 71 games and recorded 230 total tackles. In that span, he has added 11 sacks and two fumble recoveries to his resume. Regardless of the team, he has been a solid contributor.
After spending three seasons as a Los Angeles Ram, Joseph-Day switched zip codes in 2022 and joined the Los Angeles Chargers. Last season, he continued his tour of the Golden State, appearing in 14 games with the Chargers and two with the San Francisco 49ers.

On a Titans team with high expectations, the 28-year-old will be a valuable veteran piece. Joseph-Day has appeared in six playoff games and recorded 14 total tackles in the postseason. He recorded two solo tackles in three games for the 49ers last season.

While the Titans’ roster is mostly set, the addition of Joseph-Day adds needed depth. Their list of offseason acquisitions includes Calvin Ridley, who was the top wide receiver in free agency.
With Joseph-Day in the mix, the Titans have added another talented player to a roster with championship aspirations.
