Titan Sized

If there is one team that took a major step in the right direction as far as roster improvement this offseason, it is the Tennessee Titans. General manager Mike Borgonzi had a lot of to-do tasks once the offseason began, and he delivered big time. First, he needed to bring in a new head coach and his choice was Robert Saleh. That itself was a great hire, and then Saleh brought in a solid coaching staff.

Immediately after Tennessee TItans general manager Mike Borgonzi traded up in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft to draft an athletic, high-ceiling player who seemed like the prototypical Robert Saleh linebacker, the future of Titans' current MIKE linebacker Cody Barton became murky.

The Tennessee Titans went into the offseason knowing they needed to upgrade the supporting cast around quarterback Cam Ward. General manager Mike Borgonzi went into free agency with a considerable amount of spending money at his disposal. The Titans made a splash at wide receiver by signing Wan'Dale Robinson to a four-year contract worth $70 million. Robinson to Tennessee felt like the worst-kept secret in the league before free agency even began.

This offseason, the Tennessee Titans signed veteran corner Alontae Taylor to a three-year, $60 million contract in free agency, and it was a big move for both sides. For the corner, he was able to cash in after finishing his rookie contract with the New Orleans Saints, and for Tennessee, the hope is that Taylor provides some much-needed help in the secondary. While time will tell if that’s the case, one analyst isn’t so sure it is, and is questioning the size of Taylor’s contract.

The Tennessee Titans entered this offseason with some clear objectives. Among the bigger items on Mike Borgonzi's to-do list was to improve the offense. That unit woefully underperformed last season, and that was with No. 1 overall quarterback Cam Ward on the roster. The offense finished the 2025 season ranked 31st in yards per game (259.6) and 30th in points (16.7).

The Tennessee Titans recently concluded mandatory minicamp, and position battles are officially in full swing. One position group that has surprisingly turned into a close race is the wide receiver room. From veterans to rookies, everyone seems to have thrown their name in the hat. One undrafted free agent has stood out a little more than expected. The Titans signed former Illinois receiver Hank Beatty to an undrafted contract right after the NFL Draft.

The NFL is currently on break until the start of training camp in late July, so it’s time to reflect on the first half of the offseason. ESPN’s NFL reporters did that in a recent piece, checking in on all the first-round picks of the 2026 NFL Draft. For the Tennessee Titans, it was clear that Carnell Tate has been exactly what the franchise was hoping for. Selecting Tate fourth overall, the team clearly expects him to be an elite No. 1 receiver.

If you were to ask a majority of NFL fans about expectations for the Tennessee Titans in 2026, you may get a mix of answers. For the past two seasons, the Titans have put together some unwatchable football, going 6-28 across that span. The good news was that they may have their franchise quarterback in Cam Ward, and there's excitement over what he can do in his sophomore season.

Former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, who became one of the most well-known players in the league during his prime and earned the famous "CJ2K" nickname, announced on Good Morning America that he has ALS. Johnson's disease has progressed to the point where he needed to use a speech generation device in his interview with Michael Strahan. "Honestly, I don't know if you ever fully process it," Johnson said in an interview alongside his wife, Brittany. "At first, you're in shock.

It's not often in the NFL you see a player make a huge leap forward in his career and have a breakout season at the age of 30, but that's exactly what happened in 2025 for Tennessee Titans newcomer Jacob Martin. Martin is an NFL veteran and journeyman at this point, appearing in 119 total games with seven different franchises. The Titans will be his 8th, and he's got some momentum to build on coming out of last year with the Washington Commanders.
