The Tennessee Titans and a veteran wide receiver are ready to gear up for a 2024 run. They hope this move will boost their AFC South chances. According to Mike Garafolo, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will re-sign a one-year deal to return to the Tennessee Titans organization in 2024. Westbrook-Ikhine has played for the team since 2020 and hopes to continue to be a big target wideout. He hopes to match and then exceed his production from previous seasons for this team.

The Tennessee Titans use Westbrook-Ikhine as a big target receiver. His three years have seen big games as a Titan. However, he looks to be available for Will Levis or whoever ends up being the quarterback. He was an undrafted free agent back in 2020 before he started playing for the Tennessee Titans. Over the past three years, the veteran wide receiver has had 1,243 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. He has also played a major role on special teams for Tennessee during the last several seasons as well.
Not only have the Tennessee Titans and Westbrook-Ikhine agreed to terms, but they are re-signing him to remain with the team. It’s unknown how long his stay will be in Nashville. Last season, he had 28 catches for 370 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. He should secure a big deal if he plays well.
Tennessee Titans Sign Key Wide Receiver
Tennessee has also signed Calvin Ridley to the team in the same position to help boost the WR room. They are adding depth to their wide receiving core, which needs revamping after injuries occurred in 2023. The Titans were the fourth-worst team in the National Football League last season in passing yardage and ranked 6th worst in scoring touchdowns. Ridley will be a key piece for the Tennessee Titans to stretch the field in 2024, along with Westbrook Ikhine on his side.
Tennessee Titans Hire New Head Coach
The Tennessee Titans have hired a new head coach, Brian Callahan. He was a part of the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff from 2021-23. Callahan played a major role in developing quarterback Joe Burrow, and wideouts like Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd.
Brian Callahan has lots of experience in the NFL. Even with a Super Bowl appearance with the Bengals in 2021. His development should help the Tennessee Titans wideout in the upcoming season. The free agency signing period started on Wednesday for NFL players. Keeping or adding the veteran guys should bring the team success for the new coaching staff in 2024! Anything can happen in the league during this time before the NFL Draft in April arrives.
