General Manager Mike Borgonzi is leveraging Kansas City connections to overhaul the roster, targeting defensive depth and aggressive secondary upgrades as training camp battles intensify in Nashville.
The Tennessee Titans are still shuffling players in and out of the roster throughout training camp.
Just recently, we saw the Titans sign former undrafted free agent safety Hudson Clark to the roster. Clark played college football at Arkansas and was First-Team All-SEC.
The franchise was even making moves before training camp began. The Titans added center Andre James to the competition at the position. They also waived offensive tackle Ryan Hayes and added defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes to the mix.
General Manager Mike Borgonzi is still using his Kansas Chiefs connections to attract talent to Nashville. He signed former Chiefs cornerback Nazeeh Johnson to the 90-man roster.
The team signed Mario Goodrich and waived undrafted free agent Jeadyn Lukus on Saturday.
On Sunday, Titans insider Jim Wyatt reported that the Titans were signing three more players. They added defensive back Derrick Canteen and defensive tackles Khalen Saunders and Laki Tasi.
To make room for these moves, the Titans released Clark and defensive linemen David Ebuka Agoha and Cam Horsley.
Saunders is yet another player who was on the Chiefs or New York Jets. He played in Kansas City from 2019-2022 and has also spent time with the New Orleans Saints (2032-24), Jacksonville Jaguars (2025) and Jets (2025).
Tasi comes to the Titans from the NFL's International Player Pathway Program.
Canteen was an undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati in 2025. He also played college football at Virginia Tech and Georgia Southern. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers on a three-year deal in May of 2025, and the team waived him on Friday.
There is a trend with the Titans' recent signings so far.
The Titans have been really targeting cornerbacks lately. This signals that the team may not be satisfied with the depth at the position, which makes sense.
Outside of Alontae Taylor and Cor'Dale Flott, there are a lot of unproven players.
Johnson has played in 29 games, but that was as a safety. The Chiefs moved him to corner last season, and he appeared in two games. Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in training camp and was only able to play in the Chiefs' final two regular-season games.
You have returning players like Marcus Harris and Micah Robinson, but they've only started a combined six games.
Joshua Williams is a veteran, but he spent most of his snaps on special teams for the Chiefs last season.
Then, there's Keydrain Calligan and Jalen McMurray. Calligan was on the Titans' practice squad last year, and McMurray is a UDFA from Tennessee and hasn't played an NFL snap.
It seems that the front office wants to continue adding depth to cornerback. If Taylor, Flott or Harris go down with an injury, the Titans may be in trouble.
We saw how bad it can be last year, when the Titans had to scramble to find players at cornerback. L'Jarius Sneed was out with an injury, and the franchise traded Roger McCreary and Jarvis Brownlee Jr at the deadline.
Having depth on the defensive line will be important for Robert Saleh's defense, but improving the cornerback room could be just as valuable, especially if the team faces uncertainty there again in 2026.
