Report: State will put $500 million toward new Titans stadium, with a catch

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is pushing for $500 million in state bonds to go toward the Titans' new stadium, but it comes with a significant condition – it’s earmarked to be part of an enclosed venue, Axios reports.NashvilleStadiumSkyline

Metro Nashville and the Titans still have much to hash out with regard to financing and planning a new building to replace Nissan Stadium, which they’ve determined would cost $1.2 billion to refurbish, enough that a new stadium is preferable. [Unlocked]

Mailbag: Planning for a Derrick Henry slip, more at WR and Marcus Mariota

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Greetings mailbaggers and dear readers. 

Welcome to the weekend. Hope you are well-rested after that late basketball and soccer Thursday night. Exciting stuff.Titans Mural

Thanks for the good questions.

Let's dig in.

David Jackson The assumption is that Henry comes back and is back to his old self. What if he struggles and never gets back to his pre-injury form? Do you think Titans are/should be prepared for that possibility? If they need to switch to a pass-first offense can they do it with current personnel? Should that impact their draft?

Broadcast replay: Our chat about the status of the Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Hey now.

It was good to gather and discuss what the Titans have and haven't done and where they stand right now.Kuharsky broadcast

Austin Hooper and Robert Woods are part of the team now, but you are very curious about what's still to come at tight end and receiver and we delved into that.

The other big topic was what's to come on the offensive line. We talked a lot about the possible scenarios for Dillon Radunz and what's left to fill depending where he lands -- and if they know where they intend to play him ahead of the draft or not.

We covered plenty more. I hope you will pop in and watch or listen and join us next time.

Just head to the member's Facebook page or below the line.

Robert Woods will place a premium on practice

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Robert Woods’ first instruction from his new bosses was not to put a timetable on his return from the torn ACL he suffered in his left knee on Nov. 12 in a practice with the Rams.

The Titans could be waiting on him in training camp or even at the start of the regular season, and even if he’s playing they may not get the receiver they traded for until later on.Robert Woods

We saw Taylor Lewan, who suffered the injury in October, and Bud Dupree, whose came in early December, take some time to get back to themselves.

But once Woods is recovered and able, he intends to put a premium on practice.

Austin Hooper should help turn the Titans back into a TE team

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Hooper didn’t make himself sound like a hot property when he was introduced to Titans’ media Monday.

Asked why he joined the Titans, he said, “an offer helps.” Ultimately he said he chose between two.Austin Hooper

Limited interest served Tennessee, which snatched him up for a year at $6 million.

In signing him just a few days after he was released in a cap move by the Cleveland Browns, the Titans conceded a 2021 failure at tight end.

Reacting to the Titans' trade for Robert Woods

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The biggest element of the Titans’ trade for veteran receiver Robert Woods is that the team should not have to rely on a rookie receiver as a top-two option at the start of the 2022 season.

Tennessee is still sure to draft a wideout and concentrate on weaponry in late April. Julio Jones is gone, a post-June 1-designated cut after what proved a disastrous trade for a now super-delicate future Hall of Famer.Robert Woods

And so after A.J. Brown the team’s top options started with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, a nice option whose absolute max on his very best day is as a No. 3 on a low-quantity passing day when Brown and the No. 2 and a tight end are very active. [Unlocked]
