Tennessee Titans cornerback Caleb Farley enters a make-or-break season in 2024. Not only is the 2021 first-round pick playing for his future in Tennessee but also in the NFL. Sure, Farley will receive another chance if things don’t work out with the Titans, but it could be his last shot to prove he’s a starting-level cornerback.
This offseason, the Titans hired a brand-new coaching staff that didn’t select Farley. Additionally, Tennessee added two starting cornerbacks to significant contracts: L’Jarius Sneed (via trade) and Chidobe Awuzie (free agency).
In three NFL seasons, Farley has played in only 12 games with two starts. He did not play last season. Farley has dealt with multiple major injuries and the tragedy of losing his father in 2023.
Farley is healthy now. On Day 4 of Titans’ training camp, Farley displayed the length and athleticism that made Tennessee use a first-round pick on him.
Here is Farley in 1-on-1s against star wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Can Farley remain healthy through camp? If he can, there is no way he won’t make Tennessee’s roster. Right now, he can take advantage of Awuzie’s absence.
It’s never been about ability for Farley. It’s all about health. If Farley can make it through this summer healthy, Tennessee could trade him. There is always a lack of long, athletic cornerbacks across the NFL.
Regardless, these next few weeks are the most critical of Farley’s four-year NFL career.
