Titans to meet with former Chiefs TE Jody Fortson in free agency
The Titans are set to meet with former Chiefs tight end Jody Fortson in free agency on Thursday.
The Tennessee Titans have interest in former Kansas City Chiefs tight end Jody Fortson. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Titans have a visit lined up with Fortson on Thursday. Fortson last played for the Chiefs in Kansas City’s 27-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct.
27, 2024. He has not seen NFL action since, due to suffering a torn ACL as well as meniscus in his right knee in the Chiefs’ Week 8 victory over the Raiders. The 30-year-old won the Super Bowl with the Chiefs in 2023.
Fortson has recorded 160 receiving yards as well as four touchdowns in three seasons played for Kansas City from 2021-24. He’s played in 22 games in his career. Tennessee lost tight end Chig Okonkwo in free agency.
He signed a three-year deal with the Washington Commanders. Gunnar Helm, a fourth-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, caught 44 passes and two touchdowns as a rookie. The Titans have been active in the open market since the NFL’s free agency negotiating period began on March 9.
