The Tennessee Titans will sign tight end Daniel Bellinger when the new league year begins in two days, reuniting him with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Bellinger, who was drafted by the Giants in 2022, is known for his reliable hands and ability to contribute as both a pass-catcher and blocker.

Why it matters

The addition of Bellinger gives the Titans' offense another versatile weapon as they look to build on their success from last season. Daboll, who was the Giants' head coach when they drafted Bellinger, is clearly a fan of the young tight end's skill set and will look to maximize his production in Tennessee.

The details

Bellinger caught 19 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns for the Giants last season, averaging 15.1 yards per reception. He's known for his reliable hands, having caught 83% of the passes thrown his way over his four-year college career. The Titans are hoping Bellinger can help protect quarterback Cam Ward and open up running lanes for their offense.

  • The signing will become official when the new league year begins at 3:00 p.m. CST on March 11, 2026.
  • Daboll was the Giants' head coach when they drafted Bellinger in 2022.
