The Tennessee Titans re-signed safety Kenny Vaccaro on a multi-year deal and informed safety Johnathan Cyprien he will be released, the team announced Monday. The team also agreed to sign free agent wide receiver Adam Humphries to a four-year, $36 million deal, according to multiple reports. He cannot officially sign until the new league year opens on Wednesday.

Per NFL Network, Vaccaro received a four-year, $26.5 million pact with $11.5 million guaranteed. Vaccaro, 28, joined Tennessee on a one-year, $1.1 million deal last August after a weak market greeted him in free agency, and after the Titans lost Cyprien to a torn ACL in training camp.

Vaccaro totaled 58 tackles (three for loss), two sacks, an interception and four passes defensed in 13 games (all starts) for the Titans. A former first-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2013, he has nine interceptions and 34 pass breakups in 81 career games (80 starts) across six seasons. Humphries, 26, had 76 catches for 816 yards and five touchdowns last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, all career highs. He has 219 catches for 2,329 yards and nine scores through 60 games (17 starts) across four seasons after going undrafted out of Clemson in 2015.

Cyprien was set to count $6.25 million against the cap this season. Tennessee will save $4.75 million, with $1.5 million in dead money with his release. The 28-year-old had 57 tackles, one sack and one pass breakup in 10 games (all starts) in 2017, his first year with the Titans, before missing all of last season.
