Titans to sign former Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro

The Tennessee Titans are signing former Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Vaccaro, 27, worked out for the Titans on Friday after starting safety Johnathan Cyprien was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Thursday.

He had gone unsigned this offseason along with several other veteran safeties as the market for their services didn't develop as expected.

Vaccaro has shown Pro Bowl-caliber potential throughout his five-year career during which he tallied 67 starts, 385 tackles, 8 interceptions, 7.5 sacks and 4 forced fumbles.

The 6-foot, 214-pounder, who was drafted with the 15th overall pick out of Texas in 2013, probably fits best as a strong safety playing closer to the line of scrimmage, but also has been used often as a nickel back covering slot receivers.
