Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will be back in Tennessee next season. The team announced that they’ve re-signed the wide receiver.
Westbrook-Ikhine was non-tendered by the Titans earlier this week, making him an unrestricted free agent. Even the lowest, right-of-first-refusal tender would have attached the wideout to at least a $2.6MM salary, so the Titans presumably got a slight discount by temporarily letting him hit free agency.
The former undrafted free agent out of Indiana saw time in all 33 games (20 starts) for the Titans over the past two seasons. After hauling in 38 receptions for 476 yards and four touchdowns in 2021, Westbrook-Ikhine contributed another 25 receptions for 397 yards and three touchdowns in 2022.
Westbrook-Ikhine could be in store for an even bigger role in 2023. The Titans wide receivers room is currently in flux, with 2022 first-round pick Treylon Burks joining the likes of Kyle Philips and Racey McMath.
