2024 season: 3-14, fourth in AFC South, missed in playoffs
Preview: The 2024 season was a disaster. The Will Levis era which never seemed to be a good idea to start is all likelihood. In the new managing director, Mike Borgonzi, to replace Ran Carthon, who exchanged to repel Levis and was dismissed after two seasons.
The good news of Tennessee is that there are many resources in terms of wage ceiling space and the n ° 1 choice of the project. It is in Borgonzi and the crew to judiciously use these assets.

Who is in / out: The titans are thin to the receiver, and Westbrook-Ikhine was a reliable presence although not very spectacular in five seasons in Tennessee. He collected 32 catches for 492 yards and nine affected last season while playing on a one -year contract of $ 2 million. It is worth bringing back if the price remains low, but it is not a real n ° 2 behind Calvin Ridley.
The Titans path at the quarter-Arrière remains one of the greatest mysteries of the offseason. With Levis under contract and the signing options of a free agent and writing a quarter-Arrière at n ° 1 on the table, Rudolph could be released.
Key needs for free agent
Strategist
Wide receiver
Right tackle
Why the holes? The need for a quarter is obvious. Whether the titans meet this need for a free agency (Sam Darnold, Russell Wilson?) Or in the project – or both – is the question here.
It doesn’t matter whether Westbrook-Ikhine stays or leaves, titans must upgrade their receiver room. No Titan other than Ridley raised more than 500 reception yards last season.
The Titans selected their left tackle of the future, JC Latham, during the first round of last year’s draft. The right tackle remains unstable after several players failed to establish themselves as the full -time starter in 2024. Titans will not select a tackle in the first round this spring, so the free agency could be the route .
Do they have the money?
For Spotrac, Titans have about $ 50 million In the available ceiling space, which is the top 10 of the NFL.
Notable potential cuts
There are no obvious candidates here.
Titans have a ceiling space to work with and publish productive defenders at high prices such as amani hooker security (five interceptions, two forced escapes; 8.6 million dollars of potential ceiling savings) or the Rusher Edge Harold Landry (nine best team bags, 15 strokes QB, 72 plated; $ 17.5 million in potential savings) does not make sense. The two players are in their prime numbers and the titans should replace them.

Good draft adjustment
Cam Ward, Qb, Miami
Why him? If you need a quarter and you have the choice n ° 1, the pressure is high to select one, even in a quarter-arre class perceived as low. Do not expect the titans to strengthen this pressure. The choice will be between Cam Ward and Sheder Sanders, whose titans could eventually select. Ward is generally evaluated as the superior option and the favorite to go first.
If the titans come out of the script, the rusher of Penn State Edge Abdul Carter and the star of Colorado with Double Sens Travis Hunter would be options without a quarter as the best talents of the draft.
Be serious in the quarter
Titans are in a difficult situation with the first global choice in a class that has no consensual high passer. However, they cannot meet next season with a twinning in the same stadium as the Will Levis and the Mason Rudolph. With a new GM in place and head coach Brian Callahan probably more authorized to choose his guy in this position, expect the titans to add several quarters. It remains to be seen if these additions are increasing in terms of “serious”. —Matt Harmon
