Cornerback Cor’Dale Flott is leaving the Giants for the Titans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Flott and the Titans have agreed to a three-year, $45MM contract with $32MM fully guaranteed.
This is the third free agent the Titans have stolen from the Giants on Monday. The Titans previously added wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson on a four-year, $70MM agreement. They also signed tight end Daniel Bellinger to a three-year, $24MM pact.
Flott and the Giants were seemingly progressing toward an agreement earlier Monday, but the 24-year-old will join Robinson and Bellinger in Tennessee instead. The Giants almost had a deal in place with Flott before new Titans coach Robert Saleh persuaded him to exit at the last minute, per Connor Hughes of SNY. Saleh won Flott over in explaining what he could accomplish in Tennessee’s defense.
Flott, a 2022 third-round pick from LSU, combined for 23 starts in 39 appearances over his first three years with the Giants. The former slot corner then emerged as a full-time boundary starter in 2025.
While taking a starting job from former first-rounder Deonte Banks, Flott totaled 38 tackles, 11 passes defensed and an interception in 14 games. The 6-foot-2 Flott also registered his best coverage work (per Pro-Football-Reference) in yielding a 52.2% completion rate as the closest defender and holding quarterbacks to a 73.3 passer rating. Those numbers were much better than Flott’s 2024 output (66.7%, 89.0), but his most recent showing was enough to convince the Saleh-led Titans to dole out a sizable contract.
The Flott signing is part of a massive defensive makeover under Saleh and coordinator Gus Bradley. The Titans’ defense ranked 21st in yards and 28th in points in 2025, but the unit now looks far better on paper. Tennessee got to work in trading defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat to the Jets for end Jermaine Johnson in late February. Since the negotiating window opened Monday, the Titans’ defense has scooped up Flott, fellow corner Alontae Taylor and coveted interior lineman John Franklin-Myers.
Yikes. Seems like a wild overpay to me.
Interesting move. His coverage ratings last year were not great but prior to that he was considered more than solid at his position.
Guess they’re betting on youth and their excellent DC fixing him.
6’2″ corner. Seems to fit well with what Saleh likes on the outside of his defense. Could be a surprisingly effective pickup.
Another Giant joins the Titans
Wow Tennessee is spending crazy money on So So Giants players. LoL. Unbelievable
