NFL Rumors: Kevin Byard, Titans Agree to Restructured Contract amid Trade Buzz

The Tennessee Titans and veteran safety Kevin Byard have agreed to terms on a restructured deal that will keep him with the team for the 2023 season.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Byard will earn $11 million in base salary and can earn a total of $14 million with incentives on the new deal.

It once appeared that Byard could be released or traded after ESPN's Turron Davenport reported on March 17 that the two sides reached an impasse in contract negotiations after Tennessee requested him to take a pay cut.

ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler reported April 15 on SportsCenter that Byard might be open to a trade if the Titans didn't want to pay him his $14 million 2023 salary.
