On March 25, the Tennessee Titans are kicking off a fresh chapter under new head coach Robert Salah, and they win big and free agency by signing. Players on both offense and defense. A key strategy they're using on most of those deals is tying bonuses to player availability, which helps keep costs down. Titans insider Paul Kuharski pointed out that out of 15 free agent contracts where guaranteed money details are public, 14 include per game, cash incentives, these bonuses pay extra just for suiting up and playing each Sunday. This approach links part of a player's pay directly to staying healthy and on the field. If someone gets hurt and misses games, they lose out on that money. While many teams use these bonuses a bit, Kuharski says no one is leaning on them as heavily as the Titans right now. General manager Mike Borgonzi noted that the Kansas City Chiefs used similar perks when he worked there, and Tennessee has added them before this. Off season. The real shift is applying them to the bulk of their free agency

signings. It might not save a fortune, but it's smartly trims expenses heading into the season and we'll watch closely to see the payoff.
