A former New Orleans Saints first round draft pick earned his payday: defensive back Kenny Vaccaro agreed to a four-year, $26 million contract extension with the Tennessee Titans, as first reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal comes with $11.5 million in guarantees, and is a big reward for the Saints’ castoff.
Vaccaro experienced highs and lows in New Orleans, making plays but struggling to stay on the field between injuries and a brief suspension. He never matched the highlight-riddled rookie season but managed to turn it around after joining the Titans on a one-year contract.
