NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With a great deal of non-football costs since 2020, I’ve wondered just what kind of financial shape the Titans are in on the football side right now and will be in by the time they move into their new stadium for the 2027 season.

It was one of the primary questions I took to Phoenix for the NFL annual meeting recently and a league source with a clear understanding of the team’s finances told me there were “zero issues.”  

I also raised the question with general manager Ran Carthon, who said owner Amy Adams Strunk or anyone in ownership and management had not mentioned any big-picture team finances as having any bearing on football outlays to him. [Unlocked]

Scout's take: Offensive linemen the Titans may consider in the draft

By BLAKE BEDDINGFIELD, special contributor

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Over the past few years, the Titans' offensive line seemed to be in constant flux.

This year will be no different with three new starters and four of the five positions having new starters.

PK TV: Everything on your mind about the Titans and more

Paul KuharskyNASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Some questions were answered, or at least Mike Vrabel and Ran Carthon heard them and discussed the topics. We learned that the venue that will replace Nissan Stadium won't open until 2027, saving your parking situation for this season and your PSL cash for a little while longer.

I knew there was a lot on your mind with moves still unmade, cap dollars to be freed and draft picks less than a month away.

So we gathered and hashed a lot of it out the same way we do in excellent conversations among our ranks.

One big takeaway that I pushed on you: Free yourself of the underdog story and demand more.
