The Tennessee Titans are on their Week 10 bye. Interim head coach Mike McCoy and staff must take advantage to assess their lineup decisions. At 1-8, the Titans are in fact-finding mode down the stretch. They need to continue offering young players opportunities to prove themselves as future solutions.

We’ve identified four Titans in particular who must play larger roles throughout the second half of Tennessee’s campaign.

Gunnar Helm, TE

Gunnar Helm has been consistently productive when targets are thrown his way. The former Texas Longhorns standout has registered 20 receptions for 187 yards and one receiving touchdown. He’s...

The Tennessee Titans traded outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday in exchange for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-rounder. Jones’ departure leaves the Titans thin at EDGE. The rebuilding team needs rookie EDGE Femi Oladejo to get healthy and start producing.

The Titans did not trade Arden Key prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Key has been sidelined for multiple games, but should return to action in Week 11 versus the Houston Texans. The expectation is that he’ll start alongside Jihad Ward in base defense following Jones’ departure.

Oladejo is currently on IR. So...

The Tennessee Titans’ preseason win total was 6.5. I’ll be honest, I felt good about that. The Titans had the number one overall pick quarterback with a lot of promise coming in, and they had an offensive head coach who was going to tailor the system to fit him. They also had a revamped offensive line that was going to be able to protect him, and a weapon on the outside in Calvin Ridley. Winning 7 games was going to be no problem.

Cut to November. The coach has been fired. The quarterback has been up and down. The offensive...

Tennessee Titans GM Mike Borgonzi met with the media this morning to wrap up the 2025 NFL trade deadline. He gave a pretty long opening statement about the state of the team and the moves they made at the deadline. Part of his opening statement was addressing the Jarvis Brownlee trade.

Borgonzi was very complimentary of Brownlee, but did say there were some things, like accountability and attention to detail, that didn’t fit the culture the Titans are trying to build. So basically Borgonzi confirmed the speculation that was out there.

My question would be, is a player who has...

The Tennessee Titans ended up making two trades* around the NFL trade deadline, sending Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams and Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens. They netted one pick in those two deals. I was hoping they would be able to add more picks, but at the end of the day, they could only make the deals that were available to be made.

This week, we have both the standard confidence question and the question of whether or not you approve of what the Titans did at the deadline.

*I don’t consider the Jarvis Brownlee trade a...

The Tennessee Titans did not make a move during Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. From September to early November, general manager Mike Borgonzi made three separate deals involving players and draft-pick compensation. With the trade deadline now officially over, we assigned letter grades to each Titans deal.

Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2026 conditional 5th-round pick

This fifth-round pick originally belonged to the New York Jets. It’ll become a Ravens fourth-rounder if Jones records two sacks in Baltimore and the Ravens make the playoffs. Jones was a temporary solution on an expiring contract, so Borgonzi scored quality value...

There is a report today from Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal that the Tennessee Titans are unwilling to make any trades with the New England Patriots because Amy Adams Strunk doesn’t want to help Mike Vrabel. AAS has said that she is not going to be involved with the football decisions, but if this report is to be believed, she remains very much involved with the decisions to the detriment of the team. That’s not really surprising given her history.

The article mentions Arden Key, Calvin Ridley, and Tony Pollard as players the Patriots could be interested in...

In case you missed it earlier tonight, the Tennessee Titans traded Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens. The Titans received a conditional 5th-round pick. The pick they received initially belonged to the New York Jets, so it should be a pretty high pick in the 5th.

Jones had a nice message to the Titans on the way out the door that included some praise for Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward:

It has been an up-and-down season for Ward, but it is good to hear that the guys in the locker room still believe in him.

Jones ended up being...

[UPDATE 7:05 PM]: Adam Schefter says the Titans are getting the 5th round pick that originally belonged to the New York Jets. The pick could become the Ravens 4th round pick.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is reporting that the Tennessee Titans are sending EDGE Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-round pick. The conditions for it to become a fourth-round pick were not included in the original tweet. It is good to see a trade that does not involve a pick swap. The Titans actually added a pick this...

The Tennessee Titans are expected to be aggressive sellers at Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline (Nov. 4). One of the players long-rumored with a potential deadline move is EDGE Dre’Mont Jones. His situation may be more complicated than initially meets the eye.

Jones was signed to a one-year contract by new GM Mike Borgonzi earlier this offseason. He was added to help a depleted pass-rushing room. And after a slow start to his campaign, Jones has come alive in recent weeks.

Jones recorded 1.5 sacks against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. It marked his fourth consecutive week with at...

The Tennessee Titans are on a bye this week. That means we will get a Sunday where we don’t have to pay attention to bad football. The Titans dropped to 1-8 with their 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The New York Jets were this week, so the Titans moved up to second in the 2026 NFL Draft order according to Tankathon. The Jets still have the strength of schedule edge, so if they lose to the Cleveland Browns this week, they would move back to the number two pick.

Tankathon did a 2026 NFL mock draft, and they...

The Tennessee Titans were defeated 27-20 by the Los Angeles Chargers in Sunday’s Week 9 game at Nissan Stadium. The 1-8 Titans are still tied for the worst record in the NFL. We’ve conjured up five observations following yet another lopsided defeat.

Chimere Dike is special

Rookie wide receiver and special teams returner Chimere Dike makes game-changing plays weekly. Dike housed a punt return for a 67-yard touchdown. The former Florida Gators standout has a legitimate shot to be All-Pro and a Pro Bowler in his first season.

Bo Hardegree is a bad play caller

The Titans offense...
