Unfortunately, as Tennessee Titans fans, we have been waiting for this since about week three of the 2025 NFL season. That\u2019s really been the case for us the last two years. The Titans need a really strong offseason to change that for us in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It starts with NFL free agency. The Titans are going to have somewhere around $100 million to spend this year. They won\u2019t spend all of it in free agency, but they are going to be able to add some pieces to make the roster a lot better than it was last year. They can use help at just about every spot on the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The first step in the process is identifying guys they want to retain who are about to hit the market. There is a long list of guys who are going to hit the market.<\/p>\n<p>Titans pending free agents 2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Chig Okonkwo is the one guy from that list whom I will be upset if they don\u2019t end up re-signing. They cannot afford to let an offensive playmaker walk when they have so few of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Morgan Cox seems to be perennially on a one-year deal here since 2021. He\u2019s one of the best long snappers in the league. They will probably try to bring him back again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jihad Ward is another guy I\u2019d like to see back. He showed some flashes last season, and with their lack of depth in the EDGE group, he\u2019s a valuable guy to have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Which three from this list are the most important for the Titans to try to retain before they hit the market?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL offseason is here.
