The Tennessee Titans and safety Amani Hooker have reportedly agreed to a contract extension.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Titans are inking Hooker to a three-year, $48.6 million extension that includes $29 million in guarantees. The $16.2 million annual average of the contract places Hooker ninth among safeties in the NFL.
A former fourth-round pick of the Titans during the Jon Robinson era, this is the second contract extension Hooker has received from the team. Hooker previously signed a three-year, $30 million deal, which he's in the last year of in 2025.
Hooker has always proven to be a talented player when on the field, but availability has been a big issue for him during his career. After playing full seasons in 2019 and 2020, Hooker hasn't appeared in more than 14 games in any season since.
He is coming off one of his best seasons in the NFL, though. Hooker's five picks were tops for him, and he posted career-best coverage numbers after giving up a completion rate of 56.4% and a passer rating of just 63.9.
Despite his success, Hooker still believes he can be better.
"(Things I can) improve on is having ball disruption, getting my hands on the ball, whether that is interceptions, pass break-ups, forced fumbles," he said. "Overall, just being the best overall safety I can be. I know I have a long road to get there, but I know my capabilities are there and I just have to improve this offseason and help my guys around me."
While last season was a disaster overall, Hooker was part of a Titans secondary and defense that finished as the No. 2 pass defense in the NFL in 2024.
The Titans will hope to continue that and improve overall in 2025. They'll begin their season with a very tough road matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
