NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The busts tend to get our notice because they leave holes, and filling the holes can become painstaking in-season work.

But as the Titans approach the playoffs and potentially the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Denico Autry and Bud Dupree are major influences on a defense that’s had a major turnaround since last season.
Autry is a home-run signing, at three years, $21.5 million with $9 million guaranteed. Dupree’s best is still ahead of him, but he too looks very good as the big-ticket item from the 2021 shopping list.
Let’s see where they fit in on the list of Robinson’s best free-agent signings.
