NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans are signing free-agent outside linebacker Arden Key to a three-year deal worth $21 million, with $13 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
Key gives the Titans much-needed veteran help after they released outside linebacker Bud Dupree to clear cap space. With his 6-foot-5 length and short-area closing speed, Key can be set up on the edge or schemed out of loaded fronts.
A fifth-year veteran, Key had 4.5 sacks, 15 quarterback hits and 27 tackles last season for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who signed him to one-year, $4 million contract last March.
