What happened
The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with linebacker Mohamoud Diabate, sources tell Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Diabate spent three seasons with the Cleveland Browns, playing in 46 games with 18 starts. The Browns did not tender him as a restricted free agent.
Why it matters
This signing bolsters Titans' linebacker room with a familiar NFL player, though his injury history—including a hip placement on IR in September 2024, quad strain during 2025 training camp, and undisclosed issues—raises durability questions. Minimal impact on betting lines expected for a depth piece amid Titans' defensive rebuild. Browns' decision signals low priority for their LB depth.
