Activities along Radio Row at the Super Bowl are in full swing, and past and present NFL stars are making the rounds, sitting down with different outlets from across the globe, and there have been some interesting and pointed takes.
One of the latest came from former Tennessee Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck, who joined Jonathan Hutton and Chad Withrow of the Outkick Hot Mic podcast to deliver a pointed message to any potential free agents interested in coming to Nashville.
“Big Jeff was the best defensive tackle on one of the worst teams in the NFL. Very difficult to do. So, Big Jeff was drafted here. It means something to him. He’s a Titan. This is a message to any free agent that’s going to come to the Tennessee Titans. Don’t come with the bulls*#&. If they pay you, we want to see your worth.” Bulluck said, “You get these free agents, they get their money, they get the bag, and then it’s very easy to go out there and play when you got a damn 15-point lead or, you know, you’re playing for something. But when you’re not playing for anything, you know, it’s a little harder to go out there and motivate yourself.”
The Titans have a ton of cap space and will likely add players they believe can positively impact the roster and help take the team to the next level, but they must be cautious and judicious with their spending. Tennessee hasn’t had the best of luck in its recent trips into free agency, with its last major spending spree under the general manager Ran Carthon not meeting expectations. New general manager Mike Borgonzi was more prudent in 2025, but the results of the free agents brought in were mixed at best.
The biggest unknown with the struggles of those brought in is whether it was the coaching or the players. With a new and experienced staff in place, we should all find out the answer.
