Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Titans secured a reasonable depth piece at a modest price point, making Granson's one-year, $1.4M deal a fair investment that earns a C+ CVI. At just $1.4M annually, Tennessee isn't breaking the bank for a tight end who profiles as organizational depth rather than a difference-maker, but the production tier suggests they're getting exactly what they're paying for — no more, no less. The minimal guaranteed money ($600K) and short-term commitment provide the Titans with flexibility while giving Granson a chance to prove he can contribute beyond special teams and spot duty. This type of low-risk contract makes sense for a player still establishing his NFL identity, as the structure allows both sides to reassess after the season without significant financial consequences. While Granson won't move the needle as a receiver or blocker, the Titans addressed their tight end depth without overspending on a player whose ceiling remains limited, making this a competent if unspectacular roster management decision.

Performance Analysis

Among tight ends on the Tennessee Titans, Kylen Granson's output grades to a C performance level. The 28-year-old fifth-year veteran logged 40 receiving yards across 17 games in the 2025 season, a statistic that underscores the limited offensive role he filled during his time in Indianapolis and Philadelphia before joining Tennessee. His only statistical bright spot came on the tackling side of the ball, where he accumulated 19 tackles over the full season — a modest contribution that reflects work in run support rather than any meaningful offensive burden. For all his durability in appearing in every game, Granson's receiving production was negligible, signaling a depth piece who operates at replacement-level effectiveness rather than a viable offensive weapon in the passing game. The media consensus frames him accurately: a low-risk camp body brought in to compete at a position where the Titans clearly have minimal confidence in their current solutions, and his career trajectory — five years in the league with stops in three organizations, none of which have invested meaningful snaps — confirms this is a background contributor without a path to meaningful impact in Tennessee's offense.

How Kylen Compares at the Position

Kylen Granson ranks 61st of 164 graded tight ends by performance. That slots Kylen between Mo Alie-cox (C) just ahead and Luke Musgrave (C) just behind.

Fan Sentiment

The public reception of Kylen Granson's addition to the Tennessee Titans has been defined almost entirely by indifference, and the D+ sentiment grade reflects exactly that. Five headlines covered the signing, and every single one framed it in the same understated terms — a quiet, low-risk depth pickup from a tight end who logged limited production during stops in Indianapolis and Philadelphia. That narrative aligns uncomfortably well with his F performance grade, which signals replacement-level output rather than the kind of proven production that generates any fanbase optimism. Meanwhile, Tennessee's broader offseason activity — a flurry of depth signings that includes names like K.J. Osborn and a handful of late-round camp bodies — reinforces the perception that the Titans are adding organizational filler rather than making meaningful roster upgrades, and Granson fits squarely into that framing. Fans have been blunt about it: they see a camp competitor with a career-backup ceiling, not a solution to the team's tight end room. The consensus across both media and the fanbase positions him as a non-factor well before the pads even go on, and with sentiment already trending downward over the last 30 days, there is no visible catalyst to shift that narrative heading into training camp.
