Additional trades, releases, and signings are expected. The Titans have had some success adding players after June 1st. Last offseason, they signed Jihad Ward in July, and he ended up arguably being their best edge defender.
With that in mind, we’ve identified three positions the Titans could target to strengthen their depth.
The Titans had Oli Udoh at swing tackle last season. He backed up JC Latham and Dan Moore admirably, playing serviceably at both left and right tackle as required due to injury. The Titans lost Udoh to free agency and got worse by replacing him with Austin Deculus. They also have sophomore UDFA Brendan Crenshaw-Dickson, and rookie UDFAs Aamil Wagner and Rasheed Miller. Signing someone like Jack Conklin or Cornelius Lucas would be an upgrade.
Alontae Taylor and Cor’Dale Flott are the boundary starters at cornerback. Marcus Harris is the every-down nickel. The top option off the bench is Joshua Williams, who played fewer than 80 defensive snaps last season. We don’t even know who is backing up Harris. Is Micah Robinson a worthwhile sophomore? There’s also a trio of undrafted corners competing for roster spots. The Titans can get better here.
Perhaps the Kevin Zeitler ship has sailed. He’s still available in free agency and could sign with a team of his choosing soon. So is Greg Van Roten, who played for Brian Daboll and Carmen Bricillo a year ago. For now, the Titans appear hellbent to let Jackson Slater and Cordell Volson compete at right guard.
