The Tennessee Titans signed first-round draft pick Carnell Tate to his four-year rookie contract.

Tate, the fourth overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, will receive $51.1 million in fully guaranteed money that includes a $33.6 million signing bonus. The deal, announced on Friday, also includes a fifth-year team option for the wide receiver out of Ohio State.


The Titans now can turn their attention to Auburn edge rusher Keldric Faulk (31st overall pick) and Texas linebacker Anthony Hill (second round), their final unsigned draft choices.

Tate, 21, had 51 catches for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games last season with the Buckeyes. He totaled 121 receptions for 1,872 yards and 14 scores in 39 games over three seasons at Ohio State.
