Tennessee Titans wide receiver, Cameron Batson, will return to Nashville for another season.
According to Jim Wyatt of Titans Online, Batson has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him in the two-tone blue for 2020. Prior to signing this deal, Batson was set to be an exclusive rights free agent come March.
The 2019 season was a lost one for Batson, who was placed on Injured Reserve and missed the entire campaign after suffering an injury during training camp.
Batson’s injury, along with the trade of fellow wideout, Taywan Taylor, opened the door for wide receiver Kalif Raymond to make the team’s 53-man roster.
Raymond made the most of his opportunity, as he proved to be a valuable deep threat, both in the regular season and in the playoffs. The Holy Cross product also handled punt and kick return duties.
Batson last appeared in a game for the Titans in 2018 when he played in 11 contests and finished with eight receptions for 82 yards. The undrafted Texas Tech product also saw limited action as a punt returner that season.
Batson figures to have a chance to make the Titans’ 53-man roster in 2020. Wide receivers A.J. Brown, Corey Davis and Adam Humphries are locks to occupy the first three spots on the depth chart, and Raymond is also likely to factor into the equation.
Wideouts Tajae Sharpe and Darius Jennings remain unsigned, and the subtraction of either of those two would only increase Batson’s chances of making the roster out of camp. Batson is also aided by the fact that he can contribute in the return game.
