The Titans have resigned center Ben Jones and tight end Geoff Swaim as Tennessee continues to make roster moves before the new league year begins on Wednesday, March 16.

Jones, a key member of the team’s offensive line, was given a two-year, $14 million contract, according to ESPN. Jones has played 10 years in the NFL, spending the past six seasons with the Titans. He’s only missed one start for the Titans since arriving in 2016, after playing his first four NFL seasons with the Texans.

Tennessee signed Swaim to a one-year contract extension. He played in 16 regular season games for the Titans in 2021, recording a career-high 31 catches for 210 yards and three touchdowns. Since joining the Titans in 2020, Swaim has totaled 40 catches for 293 yards, four scores in 26 games, and 24 starts.

Along with these signings, the Titans announced the release of cornerback Janoris “Jackrabbit” Jenkins. By releasing him, the team has saved $7 million.
