The Tennessee Titans and safety Kevin Byard have agreed on a restructured contract for the 2023 season, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Byard's base salary is now $11 million, though incentives could bring it back to $14 million, Rapoport adds.

Byard was originally scheduled to earn a base salary of $13.6 million, as well as a $500,000 bonus that could've pushed his annual income to $14.1 million, per Spotrac.

The two sides reportedly squabbled over his contract earlier this offseason. The Titans asked him to take a pay cut, which he declined. However, Byard said in June the parties were in a "good place."

A two-time All-Pro, Byard has been a key fixture of the Titans' secondary since being selected in the 2016 NFL Draft. He's recorded 27 interceptions over his career, including four last season.
