CB Malcolm Butler
Will Butler do enough to avoid getting cut in 2021?
Butler has certainly seen his fair share of ups and downs during his Titans tenure, whether it be a result of his play on the field or his 2019 injury.
The veteran appears to be on the chopping block for 2021, though. The Titans drafted Kristian Fulton, who is likely to play on the inside in 2020 but could transition to the outside next season if he plays well.
If that happens, Butler and his $14 million-plus salary will be expendable. He needs to have quite the season in 2020 to avoid taking a pay cut or being a cap casualty altogether next offseason.
Slot CB Kristian Fulton
Will Fulton be an improvement over Logan Ryan?
Fulton will likely spend the majority of his rookie season in the slot, where he has big shoes to fill after the departure of Ryan this offseason.
The good news for Fulton filling the void is that Ryan wasn’t exactly great in coverage, and the rookie will also present a much-needed upgrade in the speed department.
Tennessee likely has their eye on Fulton as its boundary corner of the future, but for now he’s got to provide a boost on the inside in 2020.
