Titans add depth at center with a late-round developmental prospect from Indiana. Five articles suggest media views Coogan as potential late-round value, not an immediate starter. Former college starter offers upside but lacks NFL experience and proven track record. Fans see this as typical depth management rather than a roster-altering move. Coogan projects as rotational backup competing for playing time in preseason evaluations.

Pat Coogan's four-year, $4.66M deal with the Tennessee Titans earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI) — a fair-market signing that carries no real upside risk given the contract structure, but also does little to move the needle for a franchise that finished 3-14. At $1.16M AAV, this is textbook league-minimum-adjacent money for a developmental interior lineman entering the NFL out of Indiana, and the CVI reflects the reality that replacement-level centers at this price point rarely emerge as meaningful contributors without a clear developmental runway. Coogan slots in as a roster-depth piece at best, the kind of signing that fills out an offensive line room without demanding premium cap space. The contract structure is almost entirely clean — just $278,780 in guarantees against a $4.66M total commitment — meaning the Titans can exit this deal with minimal financial damage if he doesn't develop, which is the one genuine strength of the arrangement. Four years of team control is aggressive for a player at this tier, but at these dollar figures, that length is more about option value than actual financial exposure. For a team deep in a rebuild and 99 days away from a regular season where expectations are measured, a low-cost, low-stakes center signing is sensible roster housekeeping — just not the kind of move that changes a trajectory.
