The Tennessee Titans are bringing back outside linebacker, Kamalei Correa.
The news comes from David Canter of DEC management, the agency that represents him. Canter also broke the news of Jack Crawford signing with the Titans on Tuesday night.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Correa’s deal is for one year and will pay him up to $3.5 million. Correa made $1.2 million in 2019.
Correa played in 16 games (five starts) for the Titans last season, totaling five sacks and 37 combined tackles. He was pushed into a more prominent role after Cameron Wake was placed on Injured Reserve.
During the postseason, Correa stepped up even more with two sacks and 13 combined tackles.
The 25-year-old, who was originally drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens, has served as a valuable depth piece for the Titans since joining the team in 2018.
He will once again take on that role in 2020, as he serves as a backup to Vic Beasley and Harold Landry off the edge.
Tennessee now has six outside linebackers under contract for next season, including Correa, Beasley, Landry, 2019 fifth-round pick D’Andre Walker, undrafted free agent Derick Roberson, and Reggie Gilbert.
