Although the NFL Scouting Combine is two weeks away, the Tennessee Titans, like all NFL franchises, will have an eye toward the start of free agency in March. The Titans will enter free agency with multiple holes that could be addressed. While cornerback, edge, and wide receiver are the most significant needs, they could use help at every level of their roster.
As of today, Tennessee will enter free agency with the most available salary cap space and has the ability to attack the offseason and roster building on its own terms. No one outside the team facility really knows what to expect, but Fox Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman took a shot at projecting the Titans’ haul from the Fox Sports top 100.
Here’s what Auman predicts:
48. Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Giants
Robinson, 25, is a volume receiver. Only five receivers in the league have more targets in the last two seasons than his 280, and while the other five average 18 touchdown catches in that span, Robinson has just seven. So he’s coming off a 1,014-yard season with 90 catches, but only 42% of those catches resulted in a first down. There are lofty projections out there for Robinson. Spotrac has him getting $15 million a year, but that’s a lot for someone with nine career touchdowns on 389 targets.
Prediction: Signs with Titans

Paye, 27, had only four sacks in a disappointing 2025 after totaling 16.5 between 2023-24, a former first-round pick who managed to play a career-high in snaps while matching his career lows in sacks and tackles for loss. Will he have a market based on the production he showed in previous seasons? Perhaps. Spotrac has him generously at $17.8 million a year, but he’s not expected back with the Colts — there’s a chance he could reunite with Indy defensive coordinator Gus Bradley with the Titans.
Prediction: Signs with Titans
89. Chig Okonkwo, TE, Titans
Okonwko, 26, has been good for about 50 catches and 500 yards a year, while having not-so-great quarterbacks throwing to him — Ryan Tannehill, Josh Dobbs, Will Levis, Cam Ward. Tennessee has the cap space to pay him well and keep him, but if he went to the right offense, he could get as many touchdowns in 2026 as he has in his NFL career (8). Affordably priced at around $8 million a year, remember next year that we told you he’d be much improved.
Prediction: Re-signs with Titans
92. Nick Cross, S, Colts
Cross, still only 24, has had a busy past two years with the Colts, totaling 266 tackles and four interceptions. Indianapolis has bigger free agents to worry about, but Cross had success with two different coordinators and won’t break the bank, drawing $6–8 million a year. If he doesn’t stick in Indy, he’d be a smart play for the Titans, where Gus Bradley knows him well, and the front office has ample cap space to rebuild their defense with young potential.
Prediction: Signs with Titans
93. Quincy Williams, LB, Jets
Williams, 29, averaged 110 tackles a year in his five seasons with the Jets, having just finished a three-year, $18 million contract. Would a change of scenery help him? There are potential matches in the Titans, where former Jets coach Robert Saleh is now, and the Falcons, where his defensive coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich, returns. Both had him when he was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2023, so it makes sense, given the choice, that he could return to one of them.
