The Tennessee Titans reportedly re-signed tight end Geoff Swaim to a one-year deal on Tuesday, and now we know how much he’ll be making.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Titans will pay the 27-year-old $2.5 million in 2021, with $2.25 million guaranteed, a raise from the $910,000 he made in Nashville in 2020.
While Swaim caught just nine passes for 83 yards in 10 games last season, he was a reliable set of hands when called upon and proved to be a stellar blocker in Tennessee’s run-heavy offense.
Swaim, who saw his playing time tick up as the season progressed, stands to see an increased role depending on what happens with the team’s other pending free agents at the position in MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser.
Even if both return, Swaim should see at least a similar amount of snaps, and perhaps more now that fellow tight end Jonnu Smith has left to the New England Patriots in free agency.
Our expectation all along has been that the Titans will retain Swaim, Firkser and Pruitt in order to fill the void left by Smith, but we could also see the team addressing the position at some point in the 2021 NFL draft.
