Cornerback Kristian Fulton, who played four up-and-down seasons for the Tennessee Titans after the team picked him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has reportedly agreed to terms on a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, ending his time in Nashville and giving him a fresh start elsewhere.

Fulton started 37 games and played in 42 for the Titans, intercepting four passes with 25 pass breakups. Injuries played a huge factor in his tenure; Fulton never played more than 13 games in a season and dealt with nagging hamstring injuries each of the last two years. After intercepting two passes with 14 pass breakups in a star-making 2021 season, the combination of hamstring injuries and natural regression contributed to Fulton failing to capitalize on that success in 2022 and 2023.

NFL Network's Ian Rapaport was first to report this news.

Fulton allowed a passer rating of 129.3 when targeted in 2023, giving up three touchdowns and 37 completions on 51 targets. He allowed more yards and yards per reception than any other season in his career while committing a career-high six penalties in just 11 games.

With Fulton gone, there are officially no players left on roster from the Titans' disastrous 2020 draft class. That group also included first-round bust Isaiah Wilson, third-round running back Darrynton Evans, fifth-round defensive tackle Larrell Murchison, seventh-round defensive back Chris Jackson and seventh-round quarterback Cole McDonald.
