Amani Hooker secures extension with Titans through 2028 season
The Tennessee Titans have solidified their defensive backfield by extending Amani Hooker’s contract, ensuring that the talented safety will remain in Nashville through the 2028 NFL season.
A Significant Deal for Hooker
Hooker, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft from Iowa, signed a three-year extension valued at $40.5 million. This agreement not only reflects the Titans’ commitment to him but also underscores Hooker’s importance to the team’s defensive scheme.
With this contract, Hooker becomes a cornerstone of the Titans’ defense, a role he embraces wholeheartedly. “It’s a true honor,” he expressed in a recent interview. “A lot of guys don’t get to that second or third contract, so to be in the same place for seven years and have enough faith in my play, and who I am as a person, to help this team win means a lot to me.”
A Commitment to Growth
At just 27 years old, Hooker is eager to continue proving himself both to the league and to his teammates. He emphasized his determination to contribute further: “I am not going anywhere. I still have some years left in me. I am still proving myself as a player.”
His dedication and loyalty to the Titans are evident, as he has spent his entire NFL career with the franchise. Hooker’s ability to make crucial plays, such as his knack for knocking the ball away from opposing receivers, makes him an invaluable asset on the field.
As the Titans look ahead to the upcoming seasons, having Hooker locked in for the long term is a strategic move that strengthens their defensive unit and bolsters their ambitions in the competitive landscape of the NFL.
