Cam Ward had an up-and-down rookie season. His struggles should come as no surprise. He was playing for a team with a bad coaching staff, a bad offensive line, and bad weapons. The Titans also faced a brutal schedule of opposing defenses. That’s a really tough situation for a rookie quarterback.
With all of that being said, year two needs to show significant improvement. The Titans now have a really good offensive coaching staff. They have upgraded the receiving corps, and the offensive line should be ready to take a step forward. The excuses are pretty much out the window...

The Tennessee Titans surprised a lot of people when they selected Carnell Tate with the fourth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. That was higher than Tate was expected to go, but he was the best receiver prospect in the draft. There is no shot he would have made it out of the top 10.
Tate has big expectations going that high in the draft. We can debate the numbers he needs to hit to justify that draft position, but at the end of the day, as long as he becomes a number one receiver, he will have been worth...

ESPN recently ranked the top 10 cornerbacks in the NFL. The list is compiled by polling execs, coaches, and scouts around the league. Unsurprisingly, no Tennessee Titans cornerback made the list, but Alontae Taylor was named as an honorable mention.
The Titans were a disaster at cornerback last season. They traded Roger McCreary and Jarvis Brownlee before the deadline. L’Jarius Sneed was on season-ending IR. That forced the Titans to rely on cornerbacks like Jalyn Armour-Davis and Kaiir Elam. Predictably, it got ugly.
General manager Mike Borgonzi entered the offseason knowing he had to totally revamp the cornerback room. Sneed...

Tennessee Titans fans are excited about having defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers playing next to Jeffery Simmons this season. The Titans made a splash by signing Franklin-Myers in free agency. He was signed to a three-year contract worth $63 million. His $21 million per year price tag was the highest annual value of any deal signed by Mike Borgonzi this offseason.
New Titans head coach Robert Saleh coached Franklin-Myers with the New York Jets. In fact, Franklin-Myers was essentially an unknown player when Saleh (and new Titans DL coach Aaron Whitecotton) developed him into a highly effective player. That played a...

The Tennessee Titans recorded just six interceptions during the 2025 season. That was tied for second-lowest in the league with the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. Only the New York Jets had fewer INT’s than the Titans with a historic zero picks.
Veteran linebacker Cody Barton led the defense with three interceptions. He’s not exactly known for creating turnovers. The other two Titans who had interceptions, Xavier Woods and Roger McCreary, are no longer here.
The defense also ranked 23rd in passing yards allowed. It’s not surprising the Titans made sweeping changes in the secondary, given the results. Woods...

The Tennessee Titans have a rebuilding roster. General manager Mike Borgonzi was aggressive this offseason in his pursuit to improve the team. The Titans made eight picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and committed more than $310 million, a league-high amount, in NFL free agency.
That doesn’t necessarily mean Borgonzi’s rebuild is complete. The Titans have finished last in the AFC South in consecutive seasons. The consensus belief is that the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and Jacksonville Jaguars have considerably better rosters than the Titans. This exercise is designed to pluck one player from each division rival and place them...

The Tennessee Titans totally revamped their wide receiver corps for franchise quarterback Cam Ward this offseason. Mike Borgonzi signed Wan’Dale Robinson to a four-year contract worth $70 million in free agency. The Titans then doubled down at the position by selecting Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Titans have more depth at the position than ever before. They decided to retain former 1,000 yard receiver Calvin Ridley as opposed to making him a salary cap casualty, which is the move everyone expected them to make. Sophomores Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike help round out...

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has one of the most underrated active streaks in the NFL. He’s rushed for 1,000+ yards in four straight seasons. Only former Titans legend Derrick Henry has matched that productivity from 2022 onward.
Pollard will attempt to rush for his fifth straight 1,000-yard season in 2026. The Titans have a new offensive coordinator in Brian Daboll. It’ll be interesting to monitor how the Titans utilize Pollard in the backfield, and what the offense’s pass-run split is.
In fairness, Pollard has barely crossed the 1,000 yard mark in several of those seasons. Some of them...

Former Titans running back Chris Johnson spent six years with the Titans where he dazzled fans and lit up the field with his scorching speed. No one will ever forget his 2009 season where he rushed for 2,006 yards earned his CJ2K nickname after becoming one of the only players in league history to cross that threshold.
But now, the former Tennessee standout is facing a new and even more difficult path than even the rigors of the NFL could give him.
On Monday morning, Johnson made an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America where he told co-anchor (and former...

Carnell Tate is garnering all the attention, but he wasn’t the Tennessee Titans‘ only first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mike Borgonzi traded back into the first round to nab falling defensive end Keldric Faulk. Now, what are fair expectations for Faulk’s rookie season?
Faulk is nearly 6-foot-6 with an 82-inch wingspan and 34-inch arms. All of those measurables are 85th-percentile or better historically, per MockDraftable’s database. Faulk also leaped a 35-inch vertical and 117-inch broad jump, 95th-percentile results at the NFL Combine.
Faulk’s body type reminded head coach Robert Saleh of Arik Armstead. Saleh had loads of success...

One of the biggest needs the Tennessee Titans had heading into this offseason was an EDGE rusher. When Arvell Reese was still on the board at pick #4, most of us thought he would be the pick. The Titans elected to pick Carnell Tate instead. Hopefully, that will end up being the right decision.
They traded T’Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson when the league year opened, signed John Franklin-Myers, and traded back into the first round of that draft to select Keldrick Faulk. So even though they didn’t add a top-of-the-line EDGE rusher, the pass rush should be significantly better...

The Tennessee Titans are on summer break before reporting to training camp on July 23rd (rookies) and July 28th (veterans). Now would be the time for general manager Mike Borgonzi to start weighing potential roster additions. The Titans made a few low-key moves at mandatory minicamp.
One position that appears extremely concerning is the swing tackle spot. JC Latham and Dan Moore are the starters. Competing for positioning behind them are Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, Austin Deculus, Ryan Hayes, and Aamil Wagner. The Titans shouldn’t have much faith in any of those options if Latham or Moore got hurt.
Both Latham and...
