One of the Tennessee Titans’ free-agent signings this offseason, the team inked Trevon Wesco to a one-year deal about a week ago, but the financial terms of the contract were not disclosed at the time.
However, thanks to Over the Cap, we now have those details. Wesco’s deal will cost $1.232 million in total, with just $352,500 of that fully guaranteed.
Judging from the contract, Wesco is anything but a lock to be on this team in 2023. Nevertheless, he does have a good shot, as Tennessee is looking for a blocking specialist and depth at the position.
That’s a role Geoff Swaim owned during his time in Nashville, but the eyes didn’t lie and it was clear he wasn’t as good as advertised. Swaim remains a free agent and there has been no indication Tennessee will bring him back.
By all accounts, Wesco is a better blocker than Swaim, so he would be an upgrade in that area. However, he doesn’t offer much as a pass-catcher, whereas Swaim could at least give you a little there.
Regardless of his ability as a pass-catcher, the Titans really just need him to block, as Chig Okonkwo will do the heavy lifting as the primary weapon at the position in 2023.
Even with Wesco aboard, the Titans could still use another body at tight end, but I wouldn’t expect anything major in free agency. I do think Tennessee could address it in the 2023 NFL draft, though.
