The Tennessee Titans are preparing to kick off free agency and need to add depth across a roster that is littered with holes.
​Before the free agent festivities begin, the Titans will have to make some decisions on some of their own free agents. Tennessee has 19 unrestricted and four restricted free agents heading into the new league year, and may decide to bring back a couple of them for continuity or depth.

​Here are five unrestricted free agents the Titans could consider bringing back for 2026.
​G Kevin Zeitler
​Zeitler is a solid veteran who is battle-tested and can add some continuity to the offensive line after the team released Lloyd Cushenberry. Zeitler had an up-and-down season in 2025 and played through some injuries, but he was steady and provided leadership to the young unit. Yes, there will be some other options on the market, but for the right price, he could be a viable short-term option.
​DE Jihad Ward
​Ward played better than his final numbers let on. The versatile veteran defensive lineman is better suited as a rotational piece, and could add some value as a situational defensive end that can slide inside for some interior pass rush. If the two sides can reach a team-friendly deal, bringing him back would not be out of the question.

​TE Chiogziem Okonkwo
​Okonkwo may be one of the hardest members of this free agent class to place. While he is steady and has shown flashes of potential, he has not yet put together a complete season. Okonkwo showed some chemistry with Cam Ward in 2025, and his return could allow the Titans to focus on other positions, but it also raises questions about his physicality and blocking.
​Okonkwo could have a robust market outside of the Titans due to his athleticism and potential, and may price himself out of Nashville, but the Titans should at least make an attempt to bring him back.
​C Corey Levin
​After the release of Lloyd Cushenberry, Tennessee enters free agency with a hole at the center position, and Levin played well in his absence in 2025. Levin may not be the long-term solution at center, but he is an experienced depth piece who should be brought back.

​OT Olisaemeka Udoh
​Like some of the other free agents, Tennessee could decide to look outside of the organization to find some depth pieces, and could look past Udoh. But he is versatile enough to be the swing tackle on gameday, and his contract should not break the bank. Bringing him back, along with some young competition, might benefit the organization.
