  14D ago • By RotoWire

  The Titans agreed to terms with Woods on a two-year, $10 million contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Woods started all 17 games for the Panthers last season and didn't miss a single defensive snap, playing all 1,218 downs on that side of the ball for Carolina. He finished the 2024 campaign with a career-high 119 tackles (72 solo) and six pass breakups, including three interceptions. Woods has 111 starts under his belt in the NFL and gives the Titans a dependable veteran presence on the back end of the defense.

• Panthers' Xavier Woods: Career year in 2024

  01/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Woods recorded 119 total tackles and six passes defended, including three interceptions, across 17 games in 2024. The 29-year-old safety set a new career high in total tackles and tied his personal best in interceptions while appearing in every game for the Panthers in 2024. Woods was one of the few bright spots on Carolina's defense, despite the team allowing the most points in a single season in NFL history. He's now completed the final year of a three-year, $15 million contract he signed with the Panthers in March of 2022, making him an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Expect Woods to be a hot name on the free-agent market for teams in need of a veteran safety.

  Woods recorded seven total tackles (five solo) and one interception in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers. Woods played 100 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps for 10th time this season, intercepting Baker Mayfield in the third quarter of Sunday's loss, which set up a 22-yard field goal from Eddy Pineiro. The 29-year-old has stepped up across the Panthers' last three games, recording 23 total tackles and three passes defended, including two interceptions, during that span. He's expected to continue making plays for what appears to be an improving Panthers defense in Week 14 when the team travels to Philadelphia.
