Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has spent his entire career with the Titans, and he has once again elected to remain in Nashville. The former undrafted free agent wideout has a new one-year deal in place with Tennessee, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. 
As has been the case since 2022, this will be another one-year agreement, Garafolo notes. Westbrook-Ikhine earned $895K in 2022, and he saw that figure rise to $1.26MM last year. Another low-cost investment has no doubt been made this time around, but the 26-year-old has proven to be a consistent complementary piece of the Titans’ passing game over the past three years.
Westbrook-Ikhine has posted 38, 25 and 28 receptions from 2021-23 while seeing a regular workload on offense. His best season came in 2021, when he recorded 476 yards and five touchdowns. The Indiana product’s yards per catch average spiked to 15.9 the following year, and he will attempt to remain a deep threat on an offense which will be guided by new head coach Brian Callahan and feature a number of new players.
The Titans have made a number of investments on that side of the ball, including a $92MM deal for wideout Calvin Ridley. Running back Tony Pollard has been added as Derrick Henry‘s replacement, while the team’s O-line will feature center Lloyd Cushenberry on a lucrative pact of his own. Those additions will lead to increased expectations for Tennessee, a team which struggled on offense in 2023.
Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins headline the Titans’ WR room, and they will be the focal point of the team’s passing game. Westbrook-Ikhine will compete with third-year tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo for targets as a secondary pass-catching option, though. The latter posted an intriguing 54-528-1 statline last season, and he could be in line for a larger role in 2024. Even if that turns out to be the case, Westbrook-Ikhine will provide quarterback Will Levis with a familiar target on the perimeter.
