The Buccaneers have agreed to terms with a pair of cornerbacks on one-year deals.
Kemon Hall is signing with the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, and Chase Lucas is also joining the team, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.
Hall, 28, spent last season with the Titans.
After being reinstated from an NFL suspension, Hall went back and forth between the active roster and the practice squad. He played 66 defensive snaps and 70 on special teams in four games and totaled nine tackles and a forced fumble.
Hall entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Chargers in 2019. He has also spent time with the Vikings, Saints, Cowboys, Chargers and 49ers.
In 28 games, Hall has recorded 24 tackles, one forced fumble and one recovered fumble.
Lucas, 29, was with the 49ers last season and played 98 defensive snaps and 204 on special teams in 15 games.
The Lions made him a seventh-round pick in 2022, and he has 15 tackles and a pass defensed in 33 career games.
The Titans know they will have a new look at cornerback in 2026, but the makeup of the group isn’t set in stone yet.
General Manager Mike Borgonzi’s bid to reshape the unit started during the 2025 season with trades involving Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary and continued with five other departures this offseason. Cor’Dale Flott, Alontae Taylor and Joshua Williams all signed with the team as free agents in moves that have left Borgonzi feeling good about the group without leading him to label it as a finished product.
“We are never satisfied at any position, really, when you have a chance to acquire players through the draft or even after the draft,” Borgonzi said, via the team’s website. “But we certainly feel good about the guys we brought in right now. But we are not done there. We are not done adding.”
The Titans have the fourth overall pick and there hasn’t been much speculation about the team going for a corner at that spot, but it sounds like there will be a move to address the position at some point in the draft.
The Titans had running back Derrick Henry for eight seasons. He earned four Pro Bowls in his time in Tennessee and twice led the league in rushing and four other times led the league in carries.
The Titans, though, miscalculated where Henry was in his career. They let him walk to Baltimore, where he signed a two-year, $16 million deal. The Titans instead signed Tony Pollard to a three-year, $24 million deal.
In the past two seasons, Henry has played all 34 games and has 666 touches for 3,859 yards and 34 touchdowns and Pollard has 576 touches for 2,605 yards and 10 touchdowns in 33 games.
The Titans are the betting favorites to select Notre Dame running Jeremiyah Love despite having Pollard and Tyjae Spears on their roster at the position.
Titans General Manager Mike Borgonzi said last week that his team is positioned to take the “best available player,” but coach Robert Saleh, when asked about Love, doesn’t sound as if he believes running back is a need.
“I love our backfield. I love our running back room right now,” Saleh said, via Jim Wyatt of the team website. “Shoot, Pollard dropped over 100 on us [last season against the 49ers], so I think he’s pretty good. And then Spears has tremendous versatility as a three-down back and they both play with a physical mindset. . . . I’m a believer in our backfield and I think it’s a group that can help our team.
“I look at our running back room as one of the better ones in football.”
Saleh wants a game-changer, but the defensive coach puts edge rushers in that category.
“Edge rushers are playmakers, too,” Saleh said. “When you are drafting that high . . . you are looking at: Who can change the game in one play? And, edge rushers can change the game in one play. Love is a very talented young man, and he can change it in one play. There’s receivers who can change it in one play.
“Right now, we need guys and we need to develop guys currently on our roster who can change the game in one play and when you are looking at all these guys from a consistency standpoint, who can flip the game on its head? Edge rushers can close it, and skill guys can end it.”
Love, Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey, University of Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. and Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese were among the top-30 draft prospects who visited Nashville.
As expected, former Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is garnering significant interest at the top of the draft.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Love is set to take a pre-draft visit with the Bengals on Monday after already meeting with the Titans and Giants.
Tennessee has the No. 4 overall pick and New York has the No. 5 selection. Cincinnati is at No. 10 overall and it currently appears Love could be off the board by then.
Considered one of the top prospects in this year’s class, Love rushed for 1,372 yards with 18 touchdowns and caught 27 passes for 280 yards with three TDs for Notre Dame in 2025.
He posted a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, cementing his status as one of the best incoming players in the draft.
Titans quarterback Cam Ward’s rookie season ended a little earlier than expected, but there doesn’t seem to be much worry about his right shoulder impacting his readiness for Year Two.
Ward did not have surgery after spraining his AC joint in the first half of Tennessee’s final regular season game and head coach Robert Saleh said that he has been a regular at the team’s facility while working his way back from the injury.
“He is in there, he is working with the trainers, working in the weight room,” Saleh said, via the team’s website. “We are up to date. I am not going to put a timetable on anything, but he is progressing really well.”
The Titans start their offseason program this week, which will be the first chance that Saleh and the rest of the new coaching staff gets to do football work with the quarterback. That work will be crucial to Saleh’s hopes of a more successful head coaching run that he had with the Jets and his initial impression of Ward bodes well on that hope. Saleh said that “I just don’t see him failing” and the shoulder shouldn’t be an obstacle in their first year together.
