With the longtime starting safety shipped to Philadelphia, the Titans went shopping on the waiver wire. The team was awarded DB K'Von Wallace off of waivers from the Arizona Cardinals.
Wallace played in seven games with the Cardinals this season, starting in five. Wallace collected 43 tackles, one tackle for loss, and one interception while in the desert.

Edmunds and Wallace will both be free agents after the season, so if either performs poorly, they can walk. Other safeties currently on the roster include Shyheim Carter, Matthew Jackson, and Elijah Molden.
