NASHVILLE – Delanie Walker left the elaborate contract celebration to Tennessee Titans teammate Taylor Lewan. The three-time Pro Bowl tight end is too busy working to make his 13th NFL season even better than the past one.
And now Walker is under contract through 2020.
“It feels good,” Walker said Saturday. “You know, I feel like I worked hard on the field and especially off the field with the community. So it feels good that the organization recognizes that and sees what I did and rewarded me with a nice contract. So I’m excited about that.”
The Titans announced Walker’s contraction extension after practice Friday, their second signing of the day. The first was for Lewan, the Pro Bowl left tackle who toasted his new five-year, $80 million deal by donning a white suit and hat to mimic Boss Hogg from the TV show “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
Walker was going into his final season under contract before the extension.
