According to Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, Levitre’s deal is worth more than $46 million and was inked just shortly after the free agent period began.

Levitre was the last of three in-house free agents Nix was hoping to lock down this offseason, as the team has already franchise-tagged safety Jairus Byrd and re-signed cornerback Leodis McKelvin.
Levitre started every game of his four-year career with the Bills, and he played every position on the line at one time or another. His specialty has been in the pass-protection department, a place where the Titans have been looking to make improvements. Tennessee’s line gave up nearly 40 sacks last season, 12th most in the league.
