NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Cornerback Malcolm Butler’s agent says Butler and the Tennessee Titans have agreed to a five-year deal worth more than $60 million.
Derek Simpson told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Butler will sign the deal, which includes more than $30 million guaranteed, once free agency begins.
The Titans declined to comment because free agency does not begin until Wednesday afternoon. Tennessee has approximately $59 million in salary cap space after releasing running back DeMarco Murray and three other players last week.
The 28-year-old Butler is a Vicksburg, Mississippi, native who went undrafted out of West Alabama but spent the past four seasons with the New England Patriots.
