Blake Beddingfield: A Titans' Free Agency Plan

By BLAKE BEDDINGFIELD, special correspondent

The Titans have so many holes to fill that they won’t be able to accomplish that in one off-season of free agency and a draft.

This rebuild should have started last year when most of us saw a roster with too many weak areas to effectively compete.

The 2024 draft is not strong overall, but it does have some position groups the Titans need that have good depth.

Free agency is not a place to get elite players, but it can fill holes on your roster with veteran players to ease the transition to your drafted rookies. 

With new head coach Brian Callahan on board, the team must improve the receiving position to give second-year quarterback Will Levis weapons to reach his full potential.

On defense, the team has very few productive returning starters outside of Jeffery Simmons, Harold Landry, Amani Hooker and Roger McCreary.

First, I believe the Titans should resign Azeez Al-Shaair, Terrell Edmunds, Aaron Brewer, Chris Hubbard (whose injury rehab may linger into the season) and Nick Folk. They’ve already taken care of Morgan Cox. None of these deals should be long-term or competitive salary options. Only Al-Shaair should have a starting salary attached to it, the other positional players are considered backup options.   

The Titans need to come out of free agency with enough starting caliber players and depth so that they can focus on the best player available during the upcoming draft.
