As the offseason continues to drag on, Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Teair Tart is the last man standing among the league’s group of 2023 restricted free agents.
According to Over the Cap, Tart, who received a $4.3 million tender from the Titans, is the only player under the restricted free agent umbrella who hasn’t signed. There are a total of five exclusive-rights free agents who haven’t signed, also, but none are from the Titans.
Being a restricted free agent, Tart is able to receive offers from other teams, but the Titans have the ability to match if they see fit. It isn’t clear if Tart has received any offers, though.
The deadline for teams to match any offer sheets a restricted free agent signs is Wednesday, April 26, which means we may get answers on Tart’s situation very soon.
I believe all of the RFAs have now signed their tenders except for one- DT Teair Tart of the Titans. I think just five ERFAs have yet to officially sign their tender.

Tart has become a valuable member and starter for the Titans’ defense since coming aboard as an undrafted free agent in 2020. The $4.3 million tender amounts to a significant raise from the $895,000 he made in 2022.
