Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi utilized free agency last offseason to add a bunch of temporary solutions at positions of need.

Woods was penciled into a starting role opposite Amani Hooker in the defensive backfield. When the 2025 NFL Draft arrived, Borgonzi drafted Penn State safety Kevin Winston Jr.
