The big question is how general manager Mike Borgonzi will choose to attack these issues. Armed with the most salary cap space in the league, the Titans can make a dent before the draft if they choose.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus (PFF) appears to agree with that thought and believes the way they decide to allocate their cap space is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/news\/every-nfl-teams-biggest-roster-decision-entering-2026#TEN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">biggest roster question<\/a> that must be answered as they officially enter the offseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Tennessee Titans: How to allocate cap space<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Titans may own a top-four draft pick again, but it\u2019s hard not to believe that they\u2019re set to grow in 2026. With new head coach Robert Saleh in place, the team can also significantly improve its roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Tennessee general manager Mike Borgonzi is armed with a league-high $104 million in cap space, which should be put to smart use. For one, adding a stud at wide receiver for Cameron Ward makes sense, especially with Calvin Ridley (66.7 PFF receiving grade) underwhelming \u2014 with options like Alec Pierce, Wan\u2019Dale Robinson and Jauan Jennings available. Moreover, the Titans will likely pursue more edge-rushing talent after placing 30th in PFF pass-rush grade at the position last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Boasting exorbitant amounts of cap space can be a blessing and a curse, because teams have to dole out large contracts to players who are deserving. But if Tennessee follows the trend savvy set by the Patriots last year, they could improve in a major way in Saleh\u2019s inaugural season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">There are still a few weeks before the first free agent is signed, and that will provide some insight into what route Borgonzi and Saleh will take to rebuild the roster. Until then, all we can do is speculate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:6|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 14, 2026, 5:08 a.m. ET It\u2019s hard to believe, but the NFL Scouting Combine is only a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[95878,7,6,96009,96010,95882,95895,96684,95899,95975,95883,95889,526,394,2411,527,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-751598","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnfltitans","12":"tag-sstsntitans","13":"tag-tagamerican-football","14":"tag-tagnfl-hub","15":"tag-tagnfl-scouting-combine","16":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","17":"tag-tagrobert-saleh","18":"tag-tagsports-news","19":"tag-tagtennessee-titans","20":"tag-tennessee","21":"tag-tennessee-titans","22":"tag-tennesseetitans","23":"tag-titans","24":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116069086986519339","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
