Titans Sign Second-Round DE Kevin Dodd To A Four-Year Deal

The Tennesseeย Titans announcedย Tuesday that they have agreed to terms with second-round DEย Kevin Dodd.

This leaves third-round Sย Kevin Byard as the only unsigned draft pick for the Titans from their 2016 class.

Last week,ย Titans HC Mike Mularkey announced that Dodd underwentย preventative surgery on his right foot and willย miss OTAs.ย However, the expectation is that Dodd will be back for the start of training camp.

Dodd, 22, was taken with the No. 32ย overall pickย by the Titans. At the start of day two, reports indicated that teams including the Cowboys were trying to trade up for pass rushers including Dodd. However, the Titansย elected to stay where they were and grab another edge rusher for their defense.

According toย OverTheCap.com, Dodd receives aย four-year contract worth $6,552,304 to go along with a signing bonus of $2,965,312.

During his four-year college career at Clemson, Dodd recorded 82 tackles, 26.5 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a recovery.
