Veteran Commitment
The Tennessee Titans have extended their confidence in a seasoned performer by signing long snapper Morgan Cox to a one-year deal. This move adds to Cox’s long-standing contributions on the special teams unit, reinforcing his crucial, albeit often unheralded, role.
A Storied NFL Journey
Approaching his 16th season in the league and preparing for his 39th birthday next month, Cox embarked on his career as an undrafted free agent. He spent the first 11 seasons in the league with the Baltimore team, where he earned First-team All-Pro honors. Choosing proximity to home over a return to Baltimore, he joined the Titans and has since embraced a significant personal and professional milestone.
Contract Details and Legacy
Morgan Cox has now been under contract with the Titans for five consecutive seasons, each on a one-year deal. His latest contract is valued at $1.422 million, featuring a signing bonus of $167,500 and a base salary that meets the veteran minimum requirement. In 2022 he reached another career highlight by earning his first appearance in the league’s top representative game while with the Titans, marking the fifth overall appearance in his career.
Impact and Future Outlook
Cox’s reliable performance as one of the best at his specialty has provided stability and consistency to the team. His renewed commitment underscores not only his enduring passion for the game but also the Titans’ strategic interest in maintaining a dependable and experienced presence on their roster for yet another season.
