Tennessee Titans agree to terms with CB Janoris Jenkins

The Titans have made an addition at the cornerback position after releasing Adoree’ Jackson.

Just hours after the Tennessee Titans released starting cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, the team has come to terms on a contract with another cornerback, Janoris Jenkins.

The news comes from Jenkins’ agent, Neil Schwartz, on Twitter. The financial details of the agreement have yet to be revealed.

Jenkins, who is a nine-year starter in the NFL and a former second-round pick of the then-St. Louis Rams, spent the 2020 campaign with the New Orleans Saints, where he tallied an overall Pro Football Focus grade of 67.4.

The 32-year-old veteran corner has tallied eight interceptions the past two seasons, including five in 2019 and three in 2020.

Jenkins was impressive in coverage last season, as he allowed a completion rate of 58.8 percent, a QB rating of 81.8 and three touchdowns, while also notching 12 passes defensed. The scheme fit is also there, with Jenkins thriving in man coverage.

While Jenkins should be a solid piece to the 2021 secondary, this isn’t exactly the big move at cornerback that the Titans needed, but perhaps more is coming.

Regardless, Jenkins can help plug a hole, and more than likely for cheaper than what it would have cost to keep Jackson and Butler around.
