Byard posted six solo tackles in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Byard has averaged 5.3 tackles per game and is on pace to tie the career-high 90 stops he posted two years ago, but he's had some variance in his numbers. In three games, he posted six or more solo tackles, but he notched two or fewer in the other three contests.

Byard recorded nine tackles and a pass breakup in Monday's 16-14 win over the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Byard played every defensive snap as expected en route to a team high in tackles. Nine stops would've been a regular-season high for the safety last season as well. The 27-year-old is instrumental to the Titans' secondary success, and the Titans restructured his deal before Monday's game to clear $6.12 million in cap space, although Byard will still make $9.1 million in 2020, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Look for him to keep it rolling against a Jaguars team that exceeded expectations in a season-opening win over the Colts.

Byard recorded 84 tackles, five interceptions, nine passes defensed and two tackles for loss across 16 games with the Titans in 2019.

EDGE Analysis

Byard's strong 2019 performance illustrated why the Titans made him the highest paid safety in the league prior to the season. He led the team with five interceptions, and now has 17 picks in his last three seasons. The elite ballhawk will look to continue to make a claim as one of the premier safeties around the league in the 2020 season.

Byard recorded seven tackles and also intercepted a pass in the team's Week 17 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Byard led the team in tackles to notch his third consecutive season with 80 or more takedowns. He also added his fifth interception of the campaign, surpassing his 2019 total of four. Byard will look to continue to lead the defense through the playoffs, beginning with a first-round matchup against the Patriots.

Byard recorded two solo tackles, a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-year pro continues to play an every-down role, and he recorded his 16th tackle since the start of the 2017 season. His IDP value is flaky with 63 tackles through 12 games, but his ball-hawk tendencies raise the ceiling.

Byard amassed nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 42-20 win over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Byard's nine tackles marked a season high for the starting free safety, bringing his season total to 61 take-downs through 11 games. Byard hasn't forced a turnover since Week 6, but will look to change that in Week 13 against the Colts.

Byard tallied six tackles, a pass defensed and an interception in Week 6 against Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Byard picked off Joe Flacco on the Broncos' first drive of the second half, keeping the Titans hopes alive for a win. While the offense squandered their opportunity, Byard has consistently performed well this season and now has three interceptions in six games. He'll look to continue to effectively man the back-half of the Titans' defense in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Byard registered five tackles (four solo), two pass breakups and an interception in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Through five games, Byard is halfway to his 2018 totals with four pass breakups and two picks. The fourth-year pro continues to be a premier lockdown cornerback, as he's allowed a 57.7 passer rating when targeted by opposing quarterbacks.

Byard notched seven tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 20-7 loss to the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Byard made plays in coverage during the Week 3 loss but ultimately wasn't able to make up for the Titans' struggles on offense. The fourth-year safety has accumulated 14 tackles (10 solo), one defended pass and one interception in three games.

Byard agreed to sign a five-year, $70.5 million contract that includes $31 million in guarantees with the Titans on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The contract will make Byard the highest paid safety in NFL history in terms of AAV ($14.1 million). The 25-year-old certainly warranted that sort of contract based off his stats, making 90 tackles (59 solo) and nabbing four interceptions last season alone. In an era with many emerging standout safeties, Byard may be the unchallenged leader of them all when it comes to coverage ability. Entering his fourth season in 2019, Byard is set to a be a major contributor to the defensive success of the team once again, having just secured a landmark deal.
