Safety Mike Edwards is set to join the Tennessee Titans pending a physical in Nashville on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
The Bills granted Edwards’ request for his release on Tuesday after attempting to find a trade partner with needs in the secondary.
Edwards, 28, was inactive despite being healthy for most of the season to date for the Bills (7-2), appearing in three games and playing only 20 total snaps on defense and special teams.
Buffalo signed the two-time Super Bowl champion to a one-year, $2.8 million deal in March.
In Tennessee, safety Quandre Diggs is headed to injured reserve with a foot injury, coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday, leaving Tennessee thin at the position after multiple attempts to patch the unit with a veteran. The Titans released Jamal Adams last month after he failed to crack the defensive back rotation.
In Tennessee, Edwards would be reunited with former Kansas City Chiefs teammate L’Jarius Sneed. The Titans acquired Sneed from the Chiefs in an offseason trade after he was given the franchise tag by Kansas City.
A third-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2019, Edwards has recorded 236 tackles, eight interceptions and four defensive touchdowns in 78 games (28 starts) with the Buccaneers (2019-22), Chiefs (2023) and Bills. He won Super Bowl LV with Tampa Bay and Super Bowl LVIII with Kansas City.
