While the Tennessee Titans have addressed two of their needs in free agency thus far, the team has yet to make a significant move to address its glaring need at wide receiver.
The only semblance of a move Tennessee has made at the position was the re-signing of Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, which does nothing to improve the group, as he’s no better than a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver.
And, no, I don’t think the Titans re-signed him with the intention of making him anything more than that. The fact that they didn’t even tender him for $2.6 million and tried to bring him back for cheaper shows that.
I get the concern that he’ll have a bigger role after what we’ve seen the last few years, but we also have to remember he was pretty much pushed into said role because of injury.
But I digress…
The expectation all along has been that the Titans would bring in at least two new receivers, and preferably a veteran from free agency and a rookie in the 2023 NFL draft.
If the Titans want to swing for the fences, there are reportedly some wide receivers available for trade, like the Arizona Cardinals’ DeAndre Hopkins and the Denver Broncos’ Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton.
As far as free agency goes, some of the top names have already come off the board since Monday, but there are still some intriguing options out there. But if the Titans want one of them, they’ll have to move faster than they are now.
Here’s who’s left.
