DONE DEAL: Titans Sign Florida WR Chimere Dike to $95 Million Contract, per ESPN
The Tennessee Titans are making major moves this offseason. In a bold statement of their commitment to revamping their offense, the Titans have officially signed wide receiver Chimere Dike to a blockbuster $95 million contract, according to ESPN reports.
The four-year deal, finalized late Friday, signals the Titans’ belief that Dike is not just a key weapon for the future — he’s a game-changer they can build around immediately. The deal reportedly includes $60 million in guaranteed money, along with incentives tied to receptions, receiving yards, and playoff appearances, providing Dike with the opportunity to earn even more if he reaches key performance milestones.
Financially, the Titans structured the contract smartly to protect their salary cap flexibility. Dike will receive a significant signing bonus up front, but the deal is heavily backloaded, giving Tennessee the breathing room to continue making moves and building a competitive roster around their young stars. This strategic structure ensures that the Titans are not only securing an elite playmaker but are doing so in a way that won’t handcuff their future roster decisions.
Chimere Dike, who starred at Florida after transferring from Wisconsin, turned heads this past season with his polished route running, reliable hands, and explosive playmaking ability. He posted career-high numbers in receptions and receiving yards, proving he could thrive against top-tier SEC competition. His ability to create separation, combined with his high football IQ, made him a coveted target in free agency.
Titans General Manager Ran Carthon expressed excitement about bringing Dike into the fold.
“Chimere is exactly the type of player we want representing this franchise — smart, tough, dynamic, and a leader both on and off the field,” Carthon said in a statement. “He’s a natural fit for the culture we’re building, and we believe he’s going to be a cornerstone of our offense for years to come.”
The Titans’ offense, which has struggled with consistency in recent seasons, will now feature a dangerous young core centered around quarterback Shedeur Sanders — who just signed his own massive contract — and Dike. The pairing is expected to bring new energy and explosiveness to a Tennessee team looking to climb back into playoff contention.
Dike’s arrival also sends a clear message to the rest of the league: the Titans are serious about competing now. Analysts have praised the move, calling it aggressive but necessary in today’s fast-paced, high-scoring NFL landscape. With elite defenses getting harder to maintain under the salary cap, investing in dynamic offensive weapons like Dike is seen as a winning strategy.
Off the field, Dike’s humble, hard-working personality has already endeared him to Titans fans. Known for his community involvement and leadership during his time at Florida, Dike is expected to have a big presence both in the locker room and around Nashville.
As Chimere Dike prepares to begin the next chapter of his career in Tennessee, the Titans — and their fans — have every reason to believe that a brighter, more explosive future is on the horizon.
The deal is done. And with it, the Titans just got a whole lot more dangerous.
