NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The addition of free-agent Malcolm Butler further identifies the trait the Titans want in their cornerbacks.
While Adoree’ Jackson certainly brings elite speed, the defining characteristic of their top-line trio of Butler,
Logan Ryan and Jackson is toughness.
The addition is a giant free-agent move with giant money connected to it. We always need to see how a deal breaks down to really understand what it is worth. But Ian Rapoport’s initial reporting says it includes over $30 million guaranteed.
The #Titans are signing CB Malcolm Butler on a 5-year contract worth more than $61M with more than $30M guaranteed, source said. Wow.

For those kinds of dollars, I’d expect a truly special player.
But from what scouts I know tell me, special isn’t the first word they’d attach to Butler.
