Titans agree to terms on futures contract with WR Josh Malone

The Tennessee Titans are already busy preparing their offseason roster, as the team announced the signing former University of Tennessee wide receiver Josh Malone to a futures contract.

Malone, 25, was selected with the 128th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.

After spending his first two seasons there, the Chattanooga, Tennessee native played for the New York Jets for two seasons, and then spent time on the practice squads of the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers.

As a rookie, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound wideout played in 11 games, including seven starts, hauling in six catches for 63 yards and a touchdown.

In 26 career games, Malone has 11 receptions for 91 yards, seeing the field last in October 2020 with the Jets.

With the Volunteers, Malone racked up 104 catches for 1,608 yards and 14 touchdowns in three seasons in Knoxville. In the 2016 season, he finished third in the SEC in receiving yards (972) and touchdowns (11).
