NASHVILLE - Ben Niemann is the newest Tennessee Titan, and the details of his one-year deal with the team are interesting. 

Having spent his career as a backup, most recently with the Arizona Cardinals, Niemann's new deal is worth $1.08 million, with a cap hit of just $940,000 with no guarantees in the package, according to Over the Cap.   

During his first five seasons in the league, Niemann has collected 237 tackles, eight for loss, two sacks, one forced fumble, six recoveries, and 16 special teams stops. Last season in Arizona, Niemann amassed 70 tackles, including two tackles for loss and one fumble recovery in 17 games while starting nine games for the Cardinals. His 70 tackles ranked fifth on the team and was a career-high.

Following his college career at Iowa, Niemann entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Chiefs in 2018, where he spent four seasons before moving to Arizona before the 2022 season.

As a member of the Hawkeyes, Niemann appeared in 49 games and totaled 199 tackles, 16 for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.

Nieman will likely compete with Jack Gibbens, Chance Campbell, and fellow free agent addition Luke Gifford for playing time at linebacker behind Monty Rice and Azeez Al-Shaair.
