Taylor agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract with the Titans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Taylor's contract, which can be officially signed at the start of the new league year Wednesday, includes $42 million in guaranteed money. He's expected to be a key piece in Tennessee's secondary after notching 52 interceptions in 64 regular-season games with the Saints across his first four NFL seasons.
Taylor tallied 83 tackles (59 solo), including two sacks, and 11 passes defended with two interceptions across 17 appearances in 2025. Taylor posted slightly lower production following his career-best 2024 campaign. He still finished with 75 or more tackles for the third straight season, and he has recorded double-digit passes defended in all four seasons of his career. The 2022 second-rounder has had a strong start to his career, which should set him up for a solid payday this offseason.
Taylor recorded seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a 29-6 win against the Jets on Sunday. Taylor's third-quarter sack of rookie QB Brady Cook helped force a Jets punt. It was the second sack of the campaign for Taylor, with his first coming Week 1 against Arizona. Taylor has remained a steady presence in the Saints' secondary and has 70 tackles (including the pair of sacks) and seven defensed passes, including two interceptions, through 15 games this season.
