Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon will have his work cut out for him in his first offseason with the team. Not only do the Titans need to make major improvements in several areas, they also have to make decisions on their own pending free agents.
Tennessee’s list of pending free agents includes 34 players, with about half of them (18) coming from the defensive side of the ball. No doubt the biggest name of the group is linebacker David Long.
Long has developed into a very good player over four seasons, which flies in the face of what typical sixth-round picks become. However, Long does come with some concerns, and namely his injury history.
So, will the Titans bring Long back? Well, that depends.
We’ll talk about that, as well as make predictions for the fates of Long and the rest of the Titans’ pending free agents on defense. We’ll cover the offensive side of the ball next week.
