While the Tennessee Titans are focused on the current free agency period, it’s never too early to start looking ahead to the 2021 class.
In that class, the Titans will have some of their most important players set to hit the open market, which can be avoided by extending them prior to the start of the 2020 season.
We saw Tennessee do that last year with a pair of impending 2020 free agents in Kevin Byard and Ben Jones, both of whom had their contracts extended before the 2019 season.
But until extensions are given out, these are the Titans’ highest-priority free agents for the 2021 offseason.
Derrick Henry
Until Henry gets a long-term deal and sheds the franchise tag, he’s on track to become a free agent in 2021.
Based on how general manager Jon Robinson talks about a potential deal, combined with the fact that Henry signed his franchise tender, things look positive for a deal to get done and for the Titans to avoid this situation.
