CB Adoree’ Jackson
Unlike the five aforementioned players, cornerback Adoree’ Jackson is guaranteed to be with the team through next season, as he recently had his fifth-year option for 2021 picked up by the Titans.
However, if the Titans are smart, they’ll try to lock him up to a long-term deal sooner rather than later. The longer they wait, the more expensive Jackson will become.
That’s because his career trajectory continues to trend upward. Jackson is coming off his best season in coverage in 2019 after finishing with a Pro Football Focus coverage grade of 82.5, the sixth-best in the NFL.
During his four-game absence at the end of last season, the former No. 18 overall pick’s importance to this team was made clear, and his impact upon returning for the playoffs was vital and undeniable.
Jackson has No. 1 corner written all over him, and at 24 years old he is at the perfect age for the Titans to feel comfortable about making a long-term commitment.
