Get ready, NFL fans—the legal tampering window officially kicks off on Monday, and that means the chaos of free agency is about to unfold! While deals can't be made official until Wednesday, March 12, expect a flurry of activity as teams start making moves behind the scenes.
One team to keep an eye on? The Tennessee Titans. While it's still unclear what direction they’ll take, recent developments suggest they could be gearing up for something big.
Titans’ Next Move: A Familiar Face in the Draft?
With free agency buzzing, it’s the perfect time for experts to drop their final pre-free agency mock drafts. Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports has done just that, predicting the Titans will draft Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter. If this holds true, it would be a significant move, especially considering Carter’s rising draft stock.
However, there’s a twist—Carter has been dealing with a minor foot injury, a fact that surfaced during the NFL Scouting Combine. While the injury isn’t expected to be a major setback, it does add some uncertainty. Teams, including the Titans, will likely take a closer look before making any commitments. Carter even made a visit to Nashville last Thursday, spending the day with the Titans’ coaching staff. While no official statements have been released regarding that visit, it’s almost certain that his medical status was a major topic of discussion.
Signs Pointing to a Defensive Shake-Up?
Adding fuel to the speculation, the Titans made a surprising roster move on Friday by releasing edge rusher Harold Landry. The decision was made primarily for salary cap reasons, but it also leaves Tennessee noticeably thin at the edge-rushing position. Given this sudden void, the need for a top-tier pass rusher has skyrocketed, making Carter an even more logical choice in the upcoming draft.
Still, nothing is set in stone. The NFL Draft is unpredictable, and while Carter remains a strong contender, the Titans could choose to trade their pick or go in an entirely different direction. That’s what makes this time of year so exciting—anything can happen!
What’s Next for Tennessee?
For now, all eyes are on the Titans and their next move. The free agency period is bound to bring surprises, and Tennessee’s front office will need to make some strategic decisions to stay competitive. Will they lock in a new edge rusher? Will they trade down for more picks? Or will they shock everyone with an unexpected signing?
The countdown to Wednesday is on, and the pieces are starting to fall into place. Whatever happens next, one thing is certain—Titans fans are in for an exciting ride. Stay tuned, because the action is just getting started!
