The Tennessee Titans snagged some defensive help Monday, signing ex-Colts DT Denico Autry to a three-year deal, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The #Titans are signing former #Colts DT Denico Autry to a 3-year deal worth $21.5M, per me and @TomPelissero. He gets $9M guaranteed and $14.25M over 2 years. TEN’s first FA signing.

The 30-year-old Autry spent the last three seasons with Indianapolis after playing his first four years with the Raiders. He’s played at least 10 games every year of his career, including 14-plus in five of the last six.
Titans add Denico Autry in free agency
Fantasy slant: Adding Autry to the defensive line brings a much-needed element to the Titans' defense: Pass rush. Last season only Cincinnati and Jacksonville finished with fewer sacks (19) Mike Vrabel's defense. Autry has racked up 20 sacks over his last three seasons. Even with his addition, this team should still look to address their defensive line further in the draft. – Derek Brown
