With the Tennessee Titans being strapped for cash this offseason, the team must explore every avenue possible to free up money, with two of those potential avenues coming via contract extensions or restructures.
If things had gone better in the 2020 draft, the Titans would be staring down the barrel of having to extend some of those players, but only Kristian Fulton and Chris Jackson are left from that group, and Jackson is barely hanging on.
Fulton has been Tennessee’s best cornerback for a few years now, but chances are the Titans will let him play out the final year of his deal in 2023, as the LSU product has failed to prove he can stay healthy for an entire season.
While Fulton won’t be extended this offseason, there are five veterans who do have a realistic shot to be extended or restructured. Let’s take a look at who they are and why Tennessee would take such an approach.
