Dupree, 28, played each of his first six NFL seasons with the Steelers. He's tallied 39.5 career sacks, including a combined 19.5 in each of the last two seasons. Dupree's 2020 season ended early after he suffered a torn ACL against the Ravens in December.

The Titans could use an added edge rushing presence in 2021. They tallied just 19 sacks as a team last season, better than only the Jaguars and Bengals. Tennessee defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney failed to record a sack last season before being placed on injured reserve in November. 

Tennessee won the AFC South last season at 11–5 before losing to the Ravens in the AFC wild card.
