NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With Kevin Byard gone, the Titans could be trading some additional veterans.
Whether they do or not, it’s a good time to assess the roster.

Who HAS to be here for the long term? Who would be left standing if you did an imaginary tear down to the studs? Who are the indispensable Titans?
Here’s my list:
1) Jeffery Simmons: He’s not played great the last few games, but he’s the Titans' biggest foundational piece. At his best he’s a player offenses have to worry about on every play, disrupting pass plays from the inside and tracking every run play.
