Tennessee Titans agree to deal with former Pittsburgh Steelers LB Bud Dupree

The Tennessee Titans have agreed to a deal with linebacker Bud Dupree, the former Steeler told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.

The deal will pay Dupree more than $16 million per year.

Dupree gives the Titans defense a much-needed presence off the edge. He is also capable of being a down lineman in nickel packages.

The Titans only fielded three outside linebackers for most of their games last season, which resulted in Harold Landry playing 94% of the snaps last season.

Tennessee hasn't had a pass rusher register 10 sacks in a season since Brian Orakpo finished with 10.
