A low-risk camp body addition that carries minimal upside for Tennessee's defensive line. Media coverage is virtually nonexistent, signaling this is a roster-filler move. Brown has bounced around rosters without establishing himself as a reliable contributor at any level. Titans fans are largely indifferent, focused on bigger offseason priorities than fringe roster signings. Brown projects as a training camp competitor unlikely to crack the final 53-man roster.

This signing grades out as about market rate for the Tennessee Titans — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Earnest's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL DEs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $2.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the DE market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. Earnest is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
