Chargers' Kristian Fulton: Inks one-year deal with Bolts
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) agreed to terms Friday on a one-year contract with Los Angeles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Fulton ended the 2023 season on IR due to a quadriceps injury, but he's presumably fully healthy and ready to get up to speed with the Chargers' defensive scheme as soon as offseason workouts begin. The 25-year-old could be an option to start across from Asante Samuel at cornerback for Los Angeles, but the team will likely be most comfortable with Fulton in a depth role after making further additions to the secondary via either free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft.

Seahawks' K'Von Wallace: Finds new home
Rotowire
Wallace is signing a one-year contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Wallace split last season between the Cardinals and Titans, playing a total of 17 games. He set career highs across the board in 2023 with 89 tackles and six passes defended, including his first career interception, but he may not see as big a workload on defense in a Seattle secondary that already features Julian Love and Rayshawn Jenkins at safety.

Titans' Jack Gibbens: Tendered by Titans
Rotowire
Gibbens (back) has been tendered by the Titans, Ben Arthur of Fox Sports reports.
Gibbens was an exclusive rights free agent, so the Titans retain his rights for the 2024 season with this move. The 25-year-old linebacker started all but one of the 14 games in which he appeared last season, racking up 95 tackles (55 solo) and three passes defensed before being placed on injured reserve due to a back injury.

Cardinals' Sean Murphy-Bunting: Moving west
Rotowire
Murphy-Bunting is slated to sign with the Cardinals on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
After four years in Tampa Bay, Murphy-Bunting spent 2023 in Tennessee, where he appeared in 14 games and recorded 57 tackles (42 solo), eight passes defended (including two interceptions) and two forced fumbles. He'll be expected to help bolster a secondary that gave up a 102.9 quarterback rating last season, which was second-worst in the league. He'll likely be starting opposite cornerback Garrett Williams, who was selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft.

Titans' Terrell Edmunds: Role slips in 2023
Rotowire
Edmunds recorded 48 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, two passes defensed (one interception) and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games with the Eagles and Titans in 2023.
Edmunds began the season in a starting role with the Eagles, but he had an inconsistent role prior to being dealt to Tennessee following Week 7. The same inconsistent opportunity followed him in Tennessee, and the result was that Edmunds tallied career lows in defensive snaps (451) and total tackles. He did contribute plenty on special teams, which should help him find a new contract around the league, but he's likely to be penciled into a depth role to begin the 2024 campaign.

Titans' K'Von Wallace: Role expands in 2023
Rotowire
Wallace recorded 89 total tackles and six passes defensed, including one interception, across 17 regular-season games with the Titans and Cardinals in 2023.
Wallace spent the first three years of his career with the Eagles, but he failed to make the roster out of training camp. Thereafter, he joined the Cardinals only to be waived again two months into the season. Even though he bounced around several rosters, Wallace still managed to rack up career-high marks in defensive snaps, tackles and passes defensed while also picking off the first pass of his career. Heading into his age-27 season, Wallace may land a deal as a starter this offseason with the chance to build off his stats from 2023.

Titans' Sean Murphy-Bunting: Big role in Tennessee
Rotowire
Murphy-Bunting recorded 57 total tackles, eight passes defended (including two interceptions) and two forced fumbles across 14 regular-season games with the Titans in 2023.
Murphy-Bunting joined the Titans on a one-year deal before the 2023 season, and he topped 800 defensive snaps for the second time in his five-year career. He also logged a career high in tackles and matched his career high in passes defended, setting him up well to enter the free-agent market once again this offseason.

Titans' Elijah Molden: Rebounds for strong season
Rotowire
Molden recorded 73 total tackles with four passes defended, including an interception, and a forced fumble across 15 regular-season games with the Titans in 2023.
Molden had his 2022 season derailed by a groin injury, but he rebounded with the highest tackle total of his three-year career in 2023. He also tallied the second pick-six of his career in Week 15. As the Titans' roster is currently constructed, Molden should be projected to start at strong safety for the Titans in 2024, the final year of his rookie contract.

Titans' Roger McCreary: Another strong season
Rotowire
McCreary recorded 86 total tackles (62 solo), two sacks, six passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble across 15 games with the Titans in 2023.
McCreary missed a pair of games in the middle of the season due to a hamstring injury, but he otherwise turned in a solid sophomore season. He set a new career-high in tackles and was consistent in coverage, a rare bright spot in Tennessee's secondary. McCreary will be entering his third NFL season in 2024 and should continue to be a key to the Titans' defense once again.

Titans' Denico Autry: Career-high 11.5 sacks
Rotowire
Autry recorded 50 tackles (30 solo), 11.5 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles across 17 games with the Titans in 2023.
Autry has been a key pass rusher for the Titans since joining the team in 2021. He reached new heights in 2023, however, logging career-high marks in tackles, sacks and snaps played. Autry is set to hit free agency and could be in for one final payday as he enters his age-34 season in 2024.

Titans' Harold Landry: Remains pass-rushing force
Rotowire
Landry recorded 69 total tackles (45 solo) and 10.5 sacks across 17 games with the Titans in 2023.
Landry saw his snap total drop for the third consecutive season, but that didn't change his ability to get after the quarterback. He reached double-digit sacks for the second consecutive campaign, highlighted by two- and three-sack efforts in Weeks 8 and 14, respectively. Landry remains under contract with the team through 2026, though the Titans may look to get out of the remaining $35 million on his contract by taking on roughly $19.6 million in dead cap across the next two years by cutting him this offseason.

Titans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Strong season in Tennessee
Rotowire
Al-Shaair recorded 163 total tackles (84 solo), two sacks, four passes defended and one fumble recovered across 17 games with the Titans in 2023.
Al-Shaair joined the Titans on a one-year deal before the 2023 season and showed the ability to handle a full defensive workload. He was on the field for a career-best 1,048 snaps and topped 100 tackles for the second time in five professional seasons. Al-Shaair will be entering his age-26 campaign, and even at a position that has been devalued in the modern NFL, he should be able to land a relatively significant contract.

Titans' Caleb Murphy: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Murphy (shoulder) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
The 24-year-old was listed as questionable for Sunday's affair after a week of limited practice sessions, but it seems as if his shoulder issue will stop him from suiting up in Week 18. Expect Rashad Weaver to see increased snaps as a rotational outside linebacker in Murphy's stead.

Avery (knee) was a full participant at the Titans' practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Avery missed the team's Week 17 loss to the Texans with a knee injury, but he now appears to be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars. The 26-year-old will be back in his role as a depth option at cornerback as Tennessee looks to spoil Jacksonville's playoff chances in Week 18.
