After making the Vic Beasley signing official on Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans released a hype video for their new edge rusher.
While the team didn’t give specific details for the amount of the contract, reports have said it is for $9.5 million, with the ability to go up to $12 million with a sack incentive. It isn’t known how many sacks are needed to hit that incentive, though.
Before we get to the video, here’s what Beasley will look like in the two-tone blue.
And now, the hype video.
Beasley led the NFL in sacks in 2016 with 15.5, but saw his production fall off mightily in the two years that followed, totaling 10 sacks combined. He had a resurgent 2019 season in which he totaled eight sacks.
While there has been past concerns about Beasley’s effort and consistency, there is no arguing he has a ton of upside, and he comes at a relatively affordable price.
Last season, he finished 15th in Pass Rush Win Rate, which was just one spot behind Yannick Ngakoue, according to ESPN. It’s also important to note both players faced a similar double team rate.
It’ll be interesting to see how this helps Harold Landry, the team’s sack leader from last season. Landry didn’t have much help to take pressure off of him in 2019, and really the same can be said for Beasley in Atlanta. This duo has a real chance to make some noise in 2020.
