The Tennessee Titans have been incredibly active in NFL free agency. They've agreed to terms with 11 new players and expect all of them to make the 53-man roster. John Franklin-Myers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Alontae Taylor, and Cor'Dale Flott were the big-money moves. Daniel Bellinger, Austin Schlottmann, Joshua Williams, and Jordan Elliott will also play roles. Tommy Townsend is the new punter, Mitch Trubisky the backup quarterback, and Cordell Volson is a depth lineman.

The Titans will probably make 1-2 additional notable signings. The rest will be depth players and back-end signings to compete for 53-man roster spots. Then it's full-steam ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft. With so much already accomplished, we're resetting the Titans' offseason needs by analyzing the five biggest remaining holes.

EDGE

The Titans entered the offseason with multiple holes at EDGE. They traded T'Vondre Sweat for Jermaine Johnson II, but haven't done anything else at the position. Johnson is a Robert Saleh guy, but is coming off a disappointing season. Surely the Titans don't trust Femi Oladejo and Jaylen Harrell opposite him. More is needed.

Right Guard

The Titans remain interested in bringing Kevin Zeitler back, according to Paul Kuharsky. The whole at right guard is glaring otherwise and probably relies on them agreeing to terms with Zeitler. Sophomore guard Jackson Slater is the alternative in-house option.

Center

Mike Borgonzi cut Lloyd Cushenberry at center. Now what? Schlottmann is the mid-tier veteran addition who previously played for Brian Daboll. The aforementioned Slater has enough versatility to compete at center. This feels like the riskiest position on the offense heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. Most good free-agent options are already off the market.

Wide Receiver

Wan'Dale Robinson, Chimere Dike, and Elic Ayomanor. Is Calvin Ridley getting cut? If Ridley stays, this room still needs an investment via the 2026 NFL Draft. If he gets cut, the need becomes even bigger. Investing in Cam Ward's development is important.

Linebacker

The Titans were rumored to be interested in linebackers. Most options like Devin Lloyd, Quincy Williams, and Tremaine Edmunds have already signed elsewhere. A few veteran options remain available who have ties to the coaching staff.
