The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a one-year contract with guard Cordell Volson, formerly of the Cincinnati Bengals, worth up to $4.215 million, according to Ian Rapoport. This signing aims to bolster their offensive line as the team looks ahead to the upcoming NFL season.
Details of Volson’s Contract and Injury History
Volson will receive $2.5 million guaranteed in this new deal. The 26-year-old missed the entire 2025 season due to shoulder surgery, which ended his year prematurely. Despite this setback, Volson’s experience and potential remain attractive to the Titans.
Career Background and Recent Performance
Originally a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State, Volson signed a four-year rookie contract with the Bengals worth $4.3 million through 2025. In 2024, he played in all 17 Bengals games, starting 15, and was ranked 78th among 136 guards by Pro Football Focus (PFF). He had accepted a pay cut in May, reducing his base salary to $1.5 million before signing with Tennessee.
Potential Impact on the Titans’ Offensive Line
Securing Volson provides the Titans with depth and versatility on their offensive front. Given his prior starts and experience, his return from injury is a key factor in the team’s hopes for a stable and effective guard position. How he performs this season could shape Tennessee’s offensive protection strategy moving forward.
