The Tennessee Titans clearly did not feel they came out of the preseason with everything they needed from a personnel standpoint. Not only did they make the mandatory cuts to get to the regular-season limit of 53 players, they subsequently made some trades, claimed three players off waivers and made a handful of other moves. ... Among the biggest surprises of all the transactions is the fact that the Titans will enter Week 1 with five tight ends on the roster, even though they plan to use plenty of wide receivers. ... The trades included the acquisition of fourth-year linebacker Ernest Jones. To get a guy who was a starter for most of his three years with the Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee seemingly gave up little. ... Tennessee was No. 7 in waiver position and used that spot to claim three players -- all on defense and all with extensive special teams experience -- that their prior teams had hoped to retain as members of their practice squad. ... Trades also sent two players packing. Defensive back Elijah Molden, a third-round pick in 2021, went to the Los Angeles Chargers, and quarterback Malik Willis, a third-round pick in 2022, went to Green Bay, and each brought a seventh-round pick in return.…
The Titans improved to 2-0 in the preseason with Saturday's 16-15 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, and they did so with the help of an unlikely hero. Rookie kicker Brayden Narveson made three-fourth-quarter field goals, including a 59-yarder that gave Tennessee its first lead and a 46-yard game-winner as time expired. Even so, the best he can hope is that it was enough for another team to want to sign him. ... Malik Willis was the Titans' starting quarterback against the Seahawks, but in the critical moments of that contest it was Mason Rudolph under center. That probably says all there is to say about whether Willis has any chance to be Will Levis' backup. ... While the issue at backup quarterback might be settled, other spots are up for grabs. Perhaps the most interesting battle is between Hassan Haskins and Julius Chestnut for the final running back spot. Others like linebacker Chance Campbell, wide receiver Jha'Quan Jackson, outside linebacker Jaylen Harrell and tight end David Martin-Robinson are among those who have found ways to stand out and have made strong cases to make the final roster. ... This week, Netflix premiered its latest episode of Untold , this one on former Titans quarterback Steve McNair and the circumstances surrounding his murder. The program did not reveal any new information except for one notable item -- a long-sought revelation from former coach Jeff Fisher. McNair's college glory days at Alcorn State also were detailed this week in an ESPN.com story. ... The starters will be back in action Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, and there are reasons to think it will be a beneficial performance in the final prep for the regular season.…
Robby Stanley of the Nashville morning sports talk show Robbie and Rexrode (102.5-FM, The Game) fills in for the vacationing John Glennon to talk all things Titans. ... The preseason opener against San Francisco ended with the Titans getting a 17-13 win. It started will all of San Francisco's big names on the sideline while most of Tennessee's number-ones played a quarter or more. It ended with players and coaches saying any win (even in the preseason) is an important step toward making winning a habit. ... Quarterback Will Levis, who directed two scoring drives in that game, made national headlines days later with the release of Will Levis Cologne, a fragrance inspired by his love for mayonnaise. But did he and the creators use the wrong mayonnaise as their inspiration? ... After two days of joint workouts with the Seattle Seahawks, coach Brian Callahan said he does not need to see the starters play against the Seahawks in Saturday's preseason contest at Nissan Stadium. ... Malik Willis will be the Titans' starting quarterback against Seattle, which could be his opportunity to lock down a roster spot or an opportunity to showcase him as a potential trade target. ... If the San Francisco game is an accurate indictor, the Titans are well-positioned to take advantage of the NFL's new kickoff rules.…
Days before their preseason opener, the Tennessee Titans found out the player they expected to be their starter at right guard, Saadiq Charles, had decided to retire at just 25 years old. Charles' decision creates a new opportunity for 2021 second-round pick Dillon Radunz, and adds to the questions that already exist about the offensive line overall, the right side in particular. ... More than two weeks into training camp, Tennessee finally signed veteran safety Quandre Diggs, a three-time Pro Bowler who did not miss a single game over the past four seasons with Seattle. Diggs does not have great size -- he is 5-foot-9, 197 pounds -- but he adds elements of speed and range that likely have been missing from the rear of the defensive backfield. ... Coach Brian Callahan said all starters who are healthy enough -- with the exceptions of defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and outside linebacker Harold Landry -- should expect to play some against San Francisco. That will be a distinct departure from recent years under Mike Vrabel and should give an indication of how well players have picked up the new schemes installed by Callahan and his staff. ... As always, newcomers and players down the depth chart will be the ones to watch in the preseason. This year, that includes guys like rookie defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat, who has to show he is as good as he has looked on the practice field, and third-year quarterback Malik Willis, who this time is fighting for a roster spot.…
Jeffery Simmons got into a couple of fights during the first of this year's Tennessee Titans training camp practices with players in full pads. It's not necessarily a huge deal now, but it is not the kind of behavior that can be repeated during a game, and -- for one of the team's leaders -- it certainly does not set a good example. ... Things got worse when, after practice, Simmons confronted a local sports talk radio host, who was on the air at the time, in a vulgar rant to protest something the host wrote on X. It should be no surprise to Simmons (or anyone else) that not everything you see on X is happy and positive. He needs to deal with such things much better. ... A day later, Simmons did apologize, but there was no way to go back in time and undo what he did. ... It was reported this week that outside linebacker Arden Key will miss the first six games of this season for violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. The Titans are not exactly flush with talent at that position. Yes, there are options to replace Key, but it is possible that the personnel department will have to sign a still-available free agent to adequately deal with the situation. ... Speaking of players still available, former Titans quarterback recently spoke about his current situation on a podcast and made it clear that is his not sitting at home just waiting for the phone to ring. It also seems clear, though, that if the right call comes, he will be more than happy to take it and to get back to work.…
Will Levis had the worst completion percentage among all qualifying NFL quarterbacks in 2023. Head coach Brian Callahan has said improvement in that regard is a central mission for the staff and for Levis this season. Some of that improvement will have to come from Levis himself, via his decision-making and his understanding of a new playbook and offensive philosophy, not to mention experience. Some will have to come from the offensive line and receivers who can make his job that much easier. ... Speaking of Levis, he certainly looked the part of a starting quarterback in the NFL as he traveled the world. walked some red carpets and did what he could to assert himself as the leader of the offense. He also has been a refreshing and interesting interview, unlike most of his recent predecessors with this franchise. It all paints a picture of a young man who is willing to embrace the stardom that typically comes with playing the game's most important position, even if he has not yet established himself as a star. ... General manager Ran Carthon said he expects a consensus of franchise decision-makers will produce the 53-man roster at the end of the preseason. It sounds nice but also is not likely realistic. Having been promoted to Executive Vice President/General Manager early in the offseason, he has to show that he is willing and able to make the final call when necessary. ... Callahan has said that starters should expect to see action in all three preseason games, which is a serious departure from the how the previous coaching staff approached things. Given all the offseason changes, it seems to be a prudent approach.…
The Tennessee Titans prepped for training camp by announcing seven hires and 13 promotions within the football operations and personnel departments. In case anyone wondered how much power general manager Ran Carthon currently wields, it is apparent now that he has things set up the way he wants. ... Ralph Ockenfels announced his retirement after 26 seasons in the front office, most recently as Vice President of Business Development. Whatever role he filled, he worked to improve the fan experience and to strengthen the connection between the team and its supporters. A salute to Ralph Ockenfels. ... Carthon finally made a long-anticipated move with the addition of a veteran safety, in this case Jamal Adams. The sixth overall pick in 2017 by the New York Jets, Adams is a three-time Pro Bowler who has played just 10 games over the past two seasons due to injuries. There are legitimate questions about how much he actually will contribute, but his connection to and familiarity with defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson is reason for optimism. ... A recent article in The Athletic revealed that the Titans agreed with the Baltimore Ravens on a fourth-round pick (it could have been a third) for running back Derrick Henry last year at the trade deadline but someone other than Carthon ultimately nixed the deal. So, should Tennessee have made that trade? And who is likely the one who wouldn't do it? ... With the start of training camp a week away, we look at the questions that need answers ahead of the regular season. ... Finally, ESPN only ranked two Titans among the top 10 in the NFL at their respective positions, and both barely cracked the top five.…
The Fourth of July falls at a time of inactivity for the NFL, but for the Tennessee Titans, it is an unforgettable day. It has now been 15 years since Steve McNair was murdered in Nashville, and the 2003 NFL co-MVP remains the standard by which all of the franchise's quarterbacks of the Titans era (1999-present) are measured. ... Countering the optimism among the fan base about the likelihood that the offensive line will be better this year, Pro Football Focus says Tennessee is headed to training camp with the NFL's 30th-best blocking unit. Uncertainty about who will start on the right side and the reliance on youth on the left likely figure into that determination, which seems -- nonetheless -- harsh. ... Former general manager Jon Robinson made a couple of deals to trade up in the 2022 draft to select wide receiver Treylon Burks (first round) and quarterback Malik Willis (third round). Now, both are regularly mentioned as players who could or should be traded before the regular season arrives. Is there merit to that line of thought, and if so, what might each bring in return? ... When it comes to setting the 53-man roster, wide receiver is a spot that varies widely in the number of players teams typically keep. Tennessee has more talent at that spot this year and plenty of options. So, what is a reasonable number of wide receivers to keep, and who might they be?…
The Tennessee Titans will be a different team in 2024. They have a new head coach in Brian Callahan, a bunch of new players led by wide receiver Calvin Ridley and cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, and hope that things will be better. Without question, there are reasons for optimism. So, what are they? ... National media outlets and sports betting services are not that optimistic. In fact, they are particularly pessimistic. From projected 2025 draft positions to odds for the 2024 season, it is not easy to find those who think the Titans will have a tough time this season. ... Some of the thinking the fuels the naysayers is understandable. Some of it seems completely misguided.…
It is mandatory minicamp week for the Tennessee Titans, which means all players under contract are in attendance at the facility. Not all of them are involved in on-field work, though. What is keeping them in the training room is anybody's guess, though, because -- as was the case with the former coaching staff -- no one is willing to discuss injuries at this time of year. ... One player not taking part in drills is second-round draft pick T'Vondre Sweat. Coach Brian Callahan says Sweat's injury is nothing serious, but history shows that health issues have a way of lingering with rookies. ... As expected, quarterback Will Levis is getting a lot of attention this offseason, from the media and the coaches. There's a lot to like about the second-year signal-caller, but there is also a lot on which he can improve. The question is whether those are things that can be fixed. ... Recent first-round picks Caleb Farley (2021) and Treylon Burks (2022) are getting a lot of work on special teams. After failing to live up to expectations last year, it seems much less is expected of both in 2024. Based on where it seems they reside on the depth chart, neither should expect to stay on the roster if they can't contribute on special teams. ... More players continue to speak about the relaxed nature of things under Callahan as compared to his predecessor, Mike Vrabel.…

DeAndre Hopkins was as good as advertised in his first season with the Tennessee Titans. In his first full offseason with them, he is showing that he is nothing like the sullen, disinterested participant, as he was portrayed at other stops in his career. ... This week, the veteran wide receiver answered questions about Treylon Burks, Tennessee's 2022 first-round pick, and then took to social media a day later to clarify his remarks with the assessment that no one in the locker room is sleeping on the player who has been pushed down the positional depth chart due to a couple of notable offseason acquisitions. ... With Hopkins, Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, Tennessee seemingly has the best wide receiver trio of its Titans era (1999-present). Is there any other trio that even comes close? Does this mean a traditionally run-first franchise will throw the ball a lot more this season. ... After last week's schedule release, Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team called the Titans "a sleeper team" but also predicted they would finish last in ther AFC South. Those two things seem to be counterintuitive, but it is also to understand the thinking behind each.…
The Tennessee Titans will open the 2024 season on the road against the Chicago Bears. That means they get first crack at the first pick in this year's draft, quarterback Caleb Williams. ... This will be the fourth time in five years that Tennessee plays against the quarterback who was taken first overall. For the most part, they have done well in those encounters. ... Williams is not the only quarterback taken in the first round the Titans might face this season. Potential matchups also await with Jayden Daniels and Washington, Drake Maye and New England, and J.J. McCarthy and Minnesota. ... A Week 5 bye precedes what might be the most challenging stretch of the season, the first division game of the year followed by road games against a pair of Super Bowl contenders. ... The stretch from early November to the start of December will first-year coach Brian Callahan match wits with three others who are in their first season in charge of their respective franchises. ... Five of the last seven games will be against AFC South opponents, including two against Jacksonville in December. ... If you can only make one home game this season, there are several interesting options. The same is true if you can only make one road game.…
The Titans prepared for this weekend's rookie camp by signing the last four of this year's seven draft picks to contracts. ... Ahead of that camp, veterans are engaged in organized team activities. One person who is not there -- but is coming -- is veteran wide receiver Tyler Boyd, who previously played in Cincinnati and had new Tennessee coach Brian Callahan as his offensive coordinator. ... Along with DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley, Boyd gives the Titans three veteran wide receivers who have combined for more than 1,700 receptions in their careers, which is a far cry from the inexperienced, unproductive group they had in 2023. Boyd's familiarity with Callahan's offense should help those others, plus quarterback Will Levis, get up to speed more quickly. ... Boyd's addition is not good news for 2022 first-round draft pick Treylon Burks. By all accounts, Burks is having a good offseason. But every indication is that he is no better than No. 4 on the positional depth chart. Callahan continues to say that Burks will get what he earns in terms of playing time and opportunities for receptions. It is likely that he will have to work extremely hard to get any opportunity. ... Levis noted that there are two notable differences with Callahan in charge rather than Mike Vrabel. First, the second-year quarterback has been told that the Titans will throw the ball on early downs and in a variety of situations. Second, there is more give-and-take between players and coaches, which has made a number of previously quiet players feel comfortable about speaking up and adding energy. ... The rookie camp will be the first opportunity for some first-year players to show they are up to the task of being professionals and possibly could make significant contributions in 2024.…

After they selected tackle JC Latham in the first round, the Tennessee Titans doubled down on big men when they chose Texas defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat, the 2023 Outland Trophy winner, in the second round. At 366 pounds, Sweat is the heaviest draft pick in franchise history, topping by just a couple pounds the mark Latham set a day earlier. ... The last time Tennessee drafted a player who weighed 350 pounds or more, things did not work out well. It won't take much for one or both of these guys to do much better. ... In addition to his size, Sweat arrives with some sizable question marks, primarily whether he can be an every-down player and whether a recent DWI incident is indicative of character issues. Some felt the Titans could have gotten him much later in the draft, but it is easy to imagine how his bulk could make a huge difference on the defense. ... Among the third-day picks, two of them could combine to make a complete player, one followed one of his college teammates to the Titans, and one looks to be very much in the mold of a couple of this year's free-agent additions.…

The Tennessee Titans surprised virtually no one when they selected a tackle in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. With a glaring need at the position and a host of top prospects available, they went with Alabama's JC Latham (6-foot-6, 360 pounds), who was a two-year starter at right tackle in college. ... Latham is unusually athletic for his size was a left tackle in high school, where he became the country's top-ranked offensive line prospect, and impressed Titans coaches during pre-draft interviews. All of that factors into the team's belief that his transition to the left side in the NFL will be smooth. ... Oddsmakers had Notre Dame's Joe Alt as the Titans' most likely selection, but he ultimately was not available when Tennessee was on the clock at No. 7. Indications are, though, that the Titans might have taken Latham even if Alt was available. ... In addition to the tackles, there were other notable prospects at several positions available to the Titans. Plus, a number of teams called with trade offers. Ultimately, though, general manager Ran Carthon elected to stay put and go with Latham. ... In his post-draft press conference, Latham came across as intelligent, well-spoken, enthusiastic and highly motivated, all of which should make him someone Titans fans easily can root for. ... Latham's addition seemingly settles things on the left side of the offebnsive line. The right side, however, is a different issue. ... With two days and seven rounds remaining in the draft, the Titans still have needs to fill. They hold the sixth pick of the second round, which likely will generate more trade opoportunities, and then won't pick again until the fourth round.…
With one week to go before the 2024 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans still hold the No. 7 overall selection. Speculation on who they will pick there centers on Notre Dame tackle Joe Alt, who projects as a player who could step in immediately at left tackle. Former NFL executive Mark Dominik said this week, however, that the Titans can still get a good tackle in the second round (No. 38 overall) and are likely to go in a different direction with their first choice. ... Dominik also classified wide receiver as a "luxury pick" for the Titans and suggested that they will not use any of their seven draft picks on that position. ... With so much speculation about adding to the offense, what about the defense. Specifically, what about edge rusher given that the Titans' sack leader from a year ago, Denico Autry, is now with the Houston Texans? ... Tennessee has added another tackle already this week when it traded with Cleveland for Leroy Watson, who played just 55 sacks last year but worked under the Titans' current offensive line coach Bill Callahan. ... Similarly, one former Titans tackle, Andre Dillard, has a new team. He becomes the latest tackle to get another opportunity after a failing spectacularly with Tennessee.…
When he addressed his players at the start of the offseason program, first-year coach Brian Callahan said he wants the Tennessee Titans to be "relentless and resilient." Another professional sports team in Nashville has gotten a lot of mileage recently out of the former while not long ago the Titans showed plenty of the latter. ... Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson continues to entertain in his media sessions. In his latest, he talked about how he will not let opposing offenses dictate what his unit does and his notion that the game is played 11-on-1. ... Offensive coordinator Nick Holz won't have to familiarize himself with free-agent wide receiver Calvin Ridley. The two were together last season in Jacksonville, and Holz shared some insights about what the Titans and their fans should expect to see. ... One position group that has gone largely overlooked this offseason is tight end. The Titans have not yet added anyone at that position, and the returning players do not offer a lot of experience or a history of production. ... A red flag was raised with one draft prospect a day before he was to meet with the Titans. The only way to know what impact that will have is to wait and see whether the Titans -- given the opportunity -- actually draft him.…
When he met the Nashville media for the first time, recently acquired cornerback L'Jarius Sneed declared himself "a hell of a player." The personal assessment came off as well-earned confidence as opposed to blustery arrogance and given his play for the Kansas City Chiefs in recent years, it is easy to understand why he feels that way. ... The pairing of Sneed and free-agent addition Chidoe Awuzie gives the Titans a well-matched pair of cornerbacks who will attempt to create a clear identity under new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. ... With those cornerbacks and free-agent wide receiver Calvin Ridley, general manager Ran Carthon and his staff addressed two of the team's biggest offseason positional needs. Offensive line still needs obvious attention, likely with the first-round pick in this year's draft. But what other position or positions should the Titans address in the 2024 NFL Draft. ... The Titans are not the only AFC South team that made a big change recently. Days after the Sneed deal, the Houston Texans acquired wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a trade with Buffalo. That made an already good offseason for the Texans even better, but the good news for the Titans is that Sneed has a history of keeping Diggs in check.…
The Tennessee Titans' offseason spending spree continued with the acquisition of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. The transaction did not cost the Titans much in terms of what they sent to the Chiefs, but they did agree to a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with Sneed. ... The trade not only solidifies Tennessee's depth chart at the position, it gives them arguably their best group of cornerbacks in recent memory. And given what Sneed accomplished in his years with Kansas City, he has a chance to be the franchise's best cornerback of the Titans era. ...The additions of Sneed and fellow cornerback Chidobe Awuzie do not mean that Carthon and Co. are done restocking the secondary. There are plenty of veteran safeties available, and it seems likely the Titans eventually will add one of them. ... The Los Angeles Chargers currently have the fifth overall pick in the 2024 draft, and their coach, Jim Harbaugh, has indicated that he would like to build his team's offensive line. Given the Titans' needs up front, it is possible that the Chargers could have a major impact on what Tennessee does with its first pick, No. 7 overall. ... The NFL announced a major change to kickoff rules this week based on what took place last spring in the XFL. The idea is to make it a more exciting play than it has been in recent years but far less dangerous than it has been historically.…

The Tennessee Titans filled their opening for a backup quarterback when they signed Mason Rudolph to a one-year, $2.87 million contract. In six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 2018 third-round pick started just 13 games but one eight (with one tie). His deal means the current quarterbacks will count fewer than $7 million against the Titans' salary cap, a far cry from a year ago when Ryan Tannehill's cap hit was more than $36 million. ... Speaking of Tannehill, the now-former Tennessee quarterback remains unsigned and clearly is the best available player at his position. It is not clear whether he has not found the opportunity or deal that he seeks, or if he is better served waiting until after the draft to find a new home. It seems likely, however, that the rest of the league doesn't see his potential role the same way he does. ... Two less-heralded deals went to players on the defense, lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day and linebacker Kenneth Murry. Day was a sixth-round pick in 2018 who quickly established himself as a reliable and versatile -- if not spectacular -- performer. Murray, on the other hand, never has lived up to his status as a 2020 first-round selection, but at 25 there is a chance his best days are to come -- and that a change of scenery could help.…

The Tennessee Titans made a big splash in the opening hours of the NFL's 2024 free agent signing period when they agreed to terms with wide receiver Calvin Ridley on a four-year, $92 million contract. ... All of the talk during the legal tampering period was that Ridley would choose between his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the New England Patriots. The Titans, however, had plenty of money to spend, and they ultimately threw a lot of it at Ridley, a 2018 first-round draft pick by Atlanta who has twice topped 1,000 receiving yards in a season. ... Ridley will team with DeAndre Hopkins to give the Titans what looks to be one of their most potent receiving tandems ever. But does it completely eliminate the possibility that they will use their first-round pick in next month's draft on a wide receiver? Not necessarily. ... Ridley is not the only player the Titans have added early in free agency. Far from it. In Lloyd Cushenberry, they have a center who is a proven starter but is young enough for franchise officials to believe his best days are still ahead of him. What is certain is that he is much larger and more physically imposing than the man he replaces, Aaron Brewer. ... Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie steps into a defensive backfield that was inconsistent (at best) in 2024. In the last three years at Cincinnati, he showed position versatility and established himself as a reliable tackler. ... Running back Tony Pollard joins last year's third-round pick Tyjae Spears in the backfield. He also changes the dynamic of the position group, relative to recent years when franchise officials liked to have complementary pieces. Pollard and Spears have much in common when it comes to their skill sets. ... The man Pollard effectively replaced, Derrick Henry, has moved on to another team, one that has a history of signing former Titans stars late in their careers. ... Two starters on last season's defense, Denico Autry and Azeez Al-Shaair, moved on as well -- to a division rival.…

The Tennessee Titans opted not to use their franchise or transition tags on running back Derrick Henry or anyone else. Instead, general manager Ran Carthon and the rest of the personnel staff held opted to look ahead to the free agency signing period, which starts in a week. Tennessee will enter the start of the new league year more than $75 million under the salary cap, which means it has more to spend than all but two other NFL franchises. ... After a 6-11 season, the Titans have no shortage of personnel needs, which means there are plenty of potential free-agent targets available. We look at who Carthon and Co. might want at obvious positions of need such as tackle or wide receiver as well as other spots. ... In stark contrast to Tennessee, the Buffalo Bills have shed salary in recent days and have cut a handful of notable players, at least of couple of whom ought to be of interest to the Titans. ... Similarly, the Philadelphia Eagles recently released Kevin Bayrd. So, what is likely next for the former Tennessee Titans safety? ... Free agency is bound to shape what the Titans do in the draft overall, but what happens with the first six overall picks in that draft will be the biggest factor in what the Titans do with their first selection, No. 7 overall. The apparent rise of one quarterback prospect could play a prominent role in that scenario. ... Since it looks as if Henry is headed to free agency, what is his most likely destination for the 2024 season?…
The Tennessee Titans started the week with three more additions to their coaching staff. One new assistant coach has direct ties to the head man, Brian Callahan. Another, like Callahan, is a second-generation coach. ... As the NFL free agency period approaches, the Titans have made no noticeable moves to retain any players whose contracts will soon expire. They also have a bunch of money to spend once the signing period commences. ... Some big-name wide receivers around the league are in the final weeks of their current contracts and could be available soon, but the one guy among them who makes the most sense (and who most excites the fan base) likely will not be available once the time comes. ... Largely overlooked among Tennessee's current needs is an experienced backup quarterback who can help Will Levis and keep the offense going, if needed. One such player who has proven himself in that regard (and who has beaten the Titans) is headed to free agency and makes a lot of sense. ... Cornerback is another area of need. It is also a challenge to find the right fit at that position on the free-agent market. ... After free agency comes the draft. Right now, the Titans have the seventh overall pick (first round) and 38th overall pick (second round) with no third-round selection. Which would be better: Make those two picks as scheduled early in those rounds or trade one or both in order to amass more selections overall? ... Like every other team, Tennessee still has time to re-sign some of its players and keep them from free agency.

A look back at Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII, how Kansas City won and the challenge of dealing with the combination of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid. ...

The prevailing wisdom among this panel is that the Kansas City Chiefs look like the team to beat this week because of A) the continued greatness of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and B) a better defense than they have had in other recent championship seasons. ... The Titans' new offensive coordinator Nick Holz, who does not have a lengthy professional résumé but who goes back a long way with coach Brian Callahan -- all the way to high school, in fact. ... Holz won't be the play-caller on offense, but his history suggests he can make a significant impact even if he does not perform high-profile duties. ... One reported member of the new coaching staff is former Titants defense back Steve Jackson, who was an important -- if not omnipresent -- member of the franchise's 1999 Super Bowl team. Like Holz, Jackson has some personal history with Callahan, albeit their connection only goes back a few years when they were assistant coaches with the Cincinnati Bengals. ... Former Titans coach Mike Vrabel still has not found a job, and one report in recent days offers a bizarre and tough-to-believe reason for why that is. As of now, it seems that Vrabel will end up with -- in some capacity -- his best friend as a part of a high-profile college football program.…
It already is clear that new Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan plans to overhaul significantly the team's coaching staff. ... There have been no official announcements about assistant coaches, but the latest reporting indicates that the Cleveland Browns granted Bill Callahan -- Brian Callahan's father and a long-time, well-respected offensive line coach -- permission to explore the possibility of joining his son's staff. The report further indicates that the Browns won't stand in his way if he wants to leave them. ... The elder Callahan will be the second position coach on offense to be hired. Reports already indicate that Tyke Tolbert, who spent the past two seasons with the Chicago Bears, will fill that role. One of the members of this podcast actually was coached by Tolbert more than two decades ago. ... Dennard Wilson, who spent last season as Baltimore's defensive backs coach and the two seasons before that in the same position with Philadelphia, reportedly has been tapped to serve as defensive coordinator. A rising star, Wilson reportedly had other opportunities this offseason and likely would have had even more had he waited, but he opted to take on the opportunity to lead the Titans' defense. ... With all of the NFL's head coaching vacancies now filled, former coach Mike Vrabel seems destined to sit out the 2024 season. With no significant record as a defensive coordinator, that seems like an unlikely option for him even if he wanted to get back to work quickly. The real question now seems to be how much of the time off he will use to reflect on the reasons for his dismissal and whether he will do some things differently when (of if) he gets another opportunity to be a head coach.…
The episode begins with a nod to a former Tennessee Titans linebacker, Terry Killens, who will make history when Super Bowl LVII is played in Las Vegan. ... Brian Callahan's first public act as Tennessee Titans head coach was an introductory press conference Thursday. The 49-year-old son of former Oakland Raiders head coach Bill Callahan showed much emotion when he discussed those who influenced him most in his professional journey but did not display much of an ego when he reviewed the career path he traveled that got him to this point. ... In previous jobs, Callahan worked with accomplished quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford and Derek Carr well into their respective careers. He noted that things he learned from those players should help him as he works to develop current Titans quarterback Will Levis. ... Callahan says he is eager to meet his new players, but Denard Walker says the majority of those introductions will have to wait. Most players won't be around the facility for the next few months. ... Callahan has not been a head coach at any level of football, but he does have the benefit of having watched his father do it and having spent time in NFL facilities as a youngster. He also has the benefit of the past five seasons as offensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals under Zac Taylor, who effectively groomed Callahan for this opportunity. ... The same day she signed Callahan to a contract, controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk promoted Ran Carthon to executive vice president/general manager, which makes him the final voice on all personnel decisions. Additionally, Chad Brinker was promoted to president of football operations, which places him second in line behind Carthon. ... The moves eliminate any chance for Callahan to make an early grab for power and provides clarity in the decision-making process. It is not clear, however, whether this was a good decision or a means for Adams Strunk to pass the buck.…
A week into their search for a new head coach, the Tennessee Titans have confirmed interviews with four candidates, Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, N.Y. Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, Las Vegas interim head coach Antonio Pierce and Cincinnati offensive coordinator Brian Callahan. According to reports, they have requested permission to interview 10 coaches, some of whose teams remain alive in the NFL playoffs. ... Callahan looks like the first to emerge as a serious candidate, and his family ties could make for an interesting addition to his staff. ... Detroit defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is on his list. While he never has been a head coach, his work as an assistant has been well-received by players with his current and former franchises. ... Most of those the Titans want to interview also have drawn interest from other teams in search of a coach. If it comes down to it, does Tennessee have enough in its favor that someone would choose to coach the Titans over another team? ... Thus far, former coach Mike Vrabel has not drawn a lot of reported interest. That either means his work with the Titans was not as highly regarded as some might think or he simply plans to sit out a year or more before he returns to an NFL sideline. ... While he says he will be forever a Titan, Derrick Henry's latest public comments suggest that he will be on a different sideline in a different uniform in 2024 -- and he is fine with that. The soon-to-be free agent says the most important thing at this stage of hs career is to be with a team that has a legitimate chance to win the Super Bowl.…
Tennessee Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk fired coach Mike Vrabel on Tuesday, two days after the final game of the 2023 season. Vrabel is the third-winningest coach in franchise history and one of three to guide the team at least as far as the AFC Championship game. ... The decision was not necessarily a shock, given reports about his job status in recent weeks. However, Strunk offered no concrete answer to the question of why she made the move, and general manager Ran Carthon followed up with even less clarity on the issue at a press conference. Similarly, no one was willing – or able – to provide any detail about what they hope to find in Vrabel's replacement. ... Vrabel was 6-18 over his final 24 regular season contests, but posted a winning record (54-45) overall. Plus, his winning percentage in games decided by seven points or fewer was even better, and his winning percentage in games decided by three points or fewer was even better than that. Regardless of overall talent, his teams displayed consistency in several key areas that will be difficult to replicate. ... The general thinking is that Vrabel, the 2021 NFL Coach of the Year, will get another job as quickly as he wants to get back to work. At present, there are six other NFL franchises in search of a head coach, but his ultimate destination might be someplace else. ... Sunday's 28-20 victory over Jacksonville was a satisfying end to an otherwise disappointing season, and a fitting way to close the book on the Titans' tenures of two notable performers, Derrick Henry and Rayn Tannehill – and ultimately their head coach.…
No one could say the Tennessee Titans were mailing it in. Although they had lost three of their last four headed into Sunday's game at Houston, all three defeats were in games that went down to the end of regulation or beyond and the victory was a come-from-behind affair in the closing minutes at Miami. The 26-3 loss, which dropped them to 5-11 and left them four games behind their division foes, looked like something completely different. ... This Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Nissan Stadium will conclude the 2023 season -- and will provide the Titans with one more opportunity to win a division game. Thus far, they are 0-5 against AFC South opponents. Since realignment in 2002, Tennessee never has failed to win at least one division game. ... The effect of mounting defeats and continuing personnel issues showed Monday when coach Mike Vrabel let loose with a bit of profanity during a press conference. He apologized two days later, but his choice of words spoke volumes about the current emotional state of the man in charge. ... The rumor mill continues to spin with speculation that Vrabel and general manager Ran Carthon do not have a strong working relationship. Recent reports suggest that Vrabel, who is under contract beyond this season, could force his way out and try to find a more comfortable opportunity for the future. Vrabel was asked about the reports this week and expressed his desire to keep the job he has had for nearly six years now. ... Despite the offense's deficiencies, particularly on the line, running back Derrick Henry has topped 1,000 rushing yards for the fifth time in six years, and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins topped 1,000 receiving yards in his first year with the team. Both achievements are notable in their ways. ... There is no question that Will Levis is Tennessee's quarterback of the future. For the second time in recent weeks, though, his status for the next game is in doubt because of an injury. Once again, there is no indication that coaches want to see what second-year quarterback Malik Willis can do or to showcase the 2022 third-round pick for a potential offseason trade.…

For the second time this season, the Titans' starting quarterback sustained a high ankle sprain.

Now, Levis is hurt, and Tannehill is poised to step in and play in place of Levis. ...

Now at 5-8, the Titans are still last in the AFC South and have less than a one percent chance to make the playoffs, but the play of the defense (minus Jeffery Simmons) against the league's highest-scoring team and the willingness to battle to the end look like positive signs for what is to come in the remainder of this season and beyond. ... The victory came a day after the world learned that former Titans tight end Frank Wycheck had died at his home in Chattanooga. Wycheck was 52 years old when he passed. During his time with the Titans, though, he was an invaluable part of the offense and an important voice in the locker room and the community. ...

The Tennessee Titans fell to 4-8 on Sunday when they lost 31-28 in overtime to the Indianapolis Colts. The game included several special teams blunders, injuries to some of Tennessee's most important players, and an uncommon sideline interaction between a couple of players. All in all, it was an unusual affair that resulted in an all-too-common outcome for the Titans. ... The fallout of this latest loss began when special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman was fired on Monday. Aukerman had directed the Titans' special teams since the start of the 2018 season but paid the price for a disastrous performance. Mike Vrabel said he was the one who fired Aukerman. Still, there is ample evidence to suggest the order to do so came from much higher up. ... Third-year linebacker Monty Rice, a third-round pick in 2021, was released on Tuesday and subsequently claimed by the New Orleans Saints.

Only three other teams have not lost in their own stadiums this year, and they are all good ones. ... Rookie quarterback Will Levis did not have his best game against the Panthers, but it wasn't his worst either. He had one really good half. What he did not have was a turnover. On balance, the decision to play him instead of veteran Ryan Tannehill continues to look wise. ... Running backs were not a hot commodity during last year's free-agent signing period.

The Tennessee Titans' offensive line has been a liability all season. It got even worse Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when an ankle injury kept right guard Daniel Brunskill out of action and a concussion sidelined left tackle Andre Dillard early in the contest. The makeshift unit did not protect quarterback Will Levis or open holes for running back Derrick Henry well enough for the offense to do much of anything. ... Levis, making his third start, had by far his worst performance to date but was hardly to blame given the pressure he faced throughout the day. It is tough to imagine the rookie signal caller will do much better if his protection does not improve. ... Speaking of Henry, the veteran running back actually leads the AFC and is second in the NFL in rushing yards despite the shortcomings of those whose job it is to open holes for him. ... Even with the issues on offense, the Titans still have the same touchdown ratio and point differential as a team with a 6-3 record, which shows that the defense does enough almost every week to give the team a chance at victory. ... The only team in the AFC with a worse record than Tennessee is the New England Patriots, and there is talk that if that team fires coach Bill Belichick, Tennessee's Mike Vrabel would be the first choice of owner Robert Kraft to take over there.…
After two starts in place of injured Ryan Tannehill, rookie Will Levis was named the Tennessee Titans' starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. In a victory over Atlanta and a loss to Pittsburgh, the second-round draft pick from Kentucky has shown a strong arm and a willingness to stand in the pocket to get the ball deep down the field. It is a skill set that meshes well with the current offensive plan, and one that the team now (apparently) plans to use for years to come. ... Tannehill, who is in the final year of his contract, is now effectively done as Tennessee's quarterback. His tenure currently consists of exactly the same number of games played (63) and starts (61) for the Titans as the man he replaced, Marcus Mariota. Statistically speaking, the difference between the two was not as pronounced as most would expect. The biggest difference was in their records. ... Levis will have to work behind an offensive line that has not consistently protected either quarterback this season. And with tackles Nicholas Petit-Frere and Chris Hubbard and right guard Daniel Brunskill dealing with injuries, it could be a backup-heavy unit that plays Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. One of those backups is Dillon Radunz, a second-round pick in 2021 who could fill in almost anywhere but never has played in a way that suggests coaches have confidence in him. ...

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedRookie Will Levis started at quarterback in place of the injured Ryan Tannehill on Sunday and led the Tennessee Titans to a 28-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons with four touchdown passes, including three to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins ... Levis was particularly effective with deep throws, as evidenced by the fact that three of Tennessee's touchdowns came on plays of more than 30 yards. That ability to throw – and complete – the deep ball exploited the risks defenses take when they load up to stop running back Derrick Henry, which could mean that the Titans will want to bring back Henry next season. ... With a short week to prepare for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Levis is all but guaranteed to start once again this week. His performance against the Falcons, however, also led coach Mike Vrabel to alter his earlier stance that Tannehill unequivocally would return as the starter once he is healthy. ... What is certain is that second-year quarterback Malik Willis looks to have little future with Tennessee. It didn't help that his first snap against the Falcons resulted in a turnover (a lost fumble). ... Tannehill was a name mentioned prominently ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, particularly after Levis' debut. But the Titans did not deal their veteran quarterback or anyone else in the final days and hours when such moves were allowed. It was an unexpected approach after they sent safety Kevin Byard to the Philadelphia Eagles a week earlier and altered the perception of what franchise officials wanted to accomplish by moving on from Byard, one of the leaders of the defense.…
Coming out of the open date in their schedule, the Tennessee Titans traded safety Kevin Byard to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for one veteran safety, Terrell Edmunds, and two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft (one each in the fifth and sixth rounds). A third-round selection in the 2016 draft, Byard never missed a game with Tennessee, earned two Pro Bowl invitations and was a two-time first-team All-Pro. ... Coach Mike Vrabel says the Byard deal is not related to the Titans' record (2-4), but common sense suggests it is the first move for a franchise that will be a "seller" ahead of the Oct. 31 trade deadline. Speculation already is rampant regarding possible destinations for quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. But they are not the only ones who could be moved. ... Not long ago, it seemed unthinkable that the Titans would want to be without Byard, but first-year general manager Ran Carthon has seemingly had a different view of a player who has been a reliable leader and performer on and off the field. So, it's possible that this separation ultimately was inevitable. ... The subject of who else will be traded is not the only uncertainty around the Titans at the moment. With Tannehill still slowed by an ankle injury, questions about who will lead the offense Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons are plentiful. An NFL.com report says that rookie Will Levis will start in place of Tannehill, but Vrabel maintains that Malik Willis also will play, and it is possible the two could alternate on a snap-by-snap basis. ... Is Levis' insertion into the starting role a temporary situation or does it signal the end of Tannehill's time as Tennessee's quarterback?…
At 2-4, the Tennessee Titans are last in the AFC South, and only two teams in the conference have a worse record. With the Oct. 31 NFL trade deadline approaching, many will look at Tennessee as a team likely to unload players. Among those in the final year of their contracts who would be appealing to current playoff contenders are running back Derrick Henry, quarterback Ryan Tannehill and defensive lineman Denico Autry. ... Part of the current predicament is a product of back-to-back drafts (2020 and 2021) that produced little in the way a regular or meaningful contributors at a time when players selected in those years should be in their primes. ... Speaking of Tannehill, an ankle injury forced him to finish Sunday's game on the sideline and created uncertainty about his availability for the next contest, Oct. 29 against Atlanta. Coach Mike Vrabel said that Tannehill will play if he's healthy. But if he is not, that means either Malik Willis or Will Levis will get the call, and Vrabel was not willing to say which way he would go in that case. ... There were a couple of in-game lineup changes against the Ravens based solely on performance. One starter got back on the field and finished the contest. The other did not, which likely means he has lost his starting spot for good. ... The Philadelphia Eagles, who have had much more success than the Titans this season, have taken a page from Tennessee's 2021 personnel playbook. In other words, Philadelphia replicated a move that Tennessee made two years earlier. Chances are, it can't turn out worse for the Eagles than it did for the Titans.…
