Brice McCain to Titans: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction

Free-agent cornerback Brice McCain reached an agreement with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, as his agency DEC Management and the team confirmed. 

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the two-year deal is worth $5 million. 

McCain sent out a tweet after the news was released, "I'm beyond excited to be part of the Tennessee Titans. Ready to get to work! #titanup."

McCain spent last season with the Miami Dolphins. He racked up 39 combined tackles, 10 passes defended and one interception across 14 games. Miami ultimately decided to let him go after the first season of a two-year contract, though.

The 29-year-old Utah product previously spent time with the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers during his first six seasons in the NFL. All told, he's registered 188 tackles, 49 passes defended, nine interceptions and two touchdowns in 100 career appearances.

Those are relatively average totals, and his performance during the 2015 campaign remained at that level. Pro Football Focus graded him in the middle of the pack among corners (69th out of 119).

Late in the season, McCain stated that some injuries caused a dip in performance, but he didn't lose confidence in his ability, as noted by Alain Poupart of the Dolphins' official site:

"

Personal goals, I think I could be better. Injuries change your game a lot. When I'm healthy, I think I can play as good as anybody. It's just hard staying healthy. You never know what's going to happen to you. You can't go into a season going, I'm going to have my best year. God says you're going to be healthy the whole year, you're going to be healthy the whole year, but anything can happen. When I was 100 percent, or at least 90, I think I played pretty well.

"

Still, the Dolphins felt that production didn't warrant keeping him. James Walker of ESPN noted the move saved the team $2.5 million.

While McCain isn't a top-tier option, he's a solid depth player in the defensive backfield capable of playing in the slot or filling the No. 2 corner role, if needed.

The Titans struggled last season and finished 3-13. They were also 27th with 26.4 points per game allowed. McCain can help shore up the struggling defense and provide depth as the team looks to get back on track and competitive in the wide-open AFC South. 

It's not the type of move that's likely to generate much attention, but it should provide a moderate boost to the Tennessee secondary in 2016.
