Titans Re-sign Special Teams Ace Justin Hardee

The Tennessee Titans have re-signed Justin Hardee Sr. to a one-year contract, continuing his role as a key contributor on special teams under new coordinator John Fassel. Hardee, a former Pro Bowler with the New York Jets, played exclusively on special teams with 185 snaps last season for the Titans, making three tackles. Despite having spent a significant portion of his career on special teams, Hardee brings depth to the Titans' defensive backfield, although his defensive playing time has been limited. The Titans, who struggled in the 2024 season with a 3-14 record, are aiming to improve under head coach Brian Callahan, with a focus on special teams as a critical component. Hardee's return is part of the team's strategy to stabilize special teams, which has been a strong unit for Tennessee amidst broader team challenges. His history with the Saints and Jets, including a Pro Bowl selection, underscores his valuable experience and potential impact.
