Report: Quandre Diggs agrees to one-year, $5 million contract with Tennessee Titans

Quandre Diggs will play for the Tennessee Titans this fall after spending the last five seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Adam Schefter of ESPN, reports that the three-time Pro Bowl safety has agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract with the Titans. Diggs will join a defense that includes rookie defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat and former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.

Diggs was released by the Seahawks in March along with another veteran safety Jamal Adams and tight end Will Dissly. The moves came as the team hired former Baltimore Ravens defensive cooortdiantor Mike Macdonald as the new head coach.

“We literally are just getting done hiring guys, so you think about all of us sitting in a room together, we are all like getting to know each other, ‘What’s important to you, what’s important to all these different people?'” Seahawks general manager John Schneider said before releasing Diggs, Adams and Dissly, per the team’s official website. So Mike and I, when we got together, we had a vision for where we want to take this thing, but you’ve got to get into the specifics of the positions, too, and understand what is important to those guys in order to get the buy-in from the staff.”

Schneider also talked about making salary-cap related moves. “You’re constantly evaluating that,” he said. “That’s one of those things we’ll find out, ‘OK if we are interested in such-and-such a player, how are we going to create space to acquire that player? If we are trading with another team for a player, how are we are going to create the space?'”
