NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans found themselves in need of help at inside linebacker after former starter Avery Williamson signed a three-year contract worth $22.5 million with the New York Jets on March 18. Fortunately for the Titans, veteran inside linebacker Will Compton was available.
Compton signed a one-year contract worth $1.25 million with Tennessee a few weeks later. With 2018 first-round pick Rashaan Evans out for much of the offseason with an undisclosed injury, Compton has been a steady veteran presence at inside linebacker for Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel as he works to build a new culture.
