Titans Agree to Terms With Punter Tommy Townsend on Two-Year Deal

The reported up-to-$6 million pact gives Tennessee an experienced All-Pro option after Johnny Hekker's one-year stopgap.

Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Townsend has agreed to a two-year contract worth up to $6 million with Tennessee.
  • Townsend spent the past two seasons with the Texans, placing nearly half his punts inside the 20 and logging the longest punts of the 2024 and 2025 postseasons.
  • In 2025 with Houston, he ranked top five in total punts (72), longest punt (73 yards), and punts inside the 20 (30).
  • He began his career with the Chiefs as a 2020 undrafted free agent and earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2022 while leading recent Super Bowl runs in playoff punts and punt yards.
  • The signing addresses the Titans' vacancy after moving on from Ryan Stonehouse in 2025 and seeing Hekker hit free agency following a one-year deal.
