The Titans aren’t going to see Kevin Dodd on the field until at least training camp, but at least they’ll see his name on the dotted line.
According to Jim Wyatt of the team’s official website, the second-round outside linebacker from Clemson has agreed to terms on his four-year rookie deal.
He’s the ninth of their 10 draft picks with a deal, leaving only third-rounder Kevin Byard (which is consistent with other third-round deals being more than boilerplate).
As for Dodd, they’re going to be without him for a few months after foot surgery to repair a stress fracture, which coach Mike Mularkey described as “preventative.”
“He is going to miss the OTAs and the veteran minicamp (next month) but he should be back for training camp,’’ Mularkey said. “He’ll miss some initial days here because he’ll be on crutches. But as soon as he can support his weight he’ll be out here and at least get some visual work with it.”
Dodd had 12.0 sacks last year at Clemson, with three of them coming in the national championship game.
