Overall, the division has one of the best at the position along with proven veterans and young players that have the ability to make a name for themselves this season.
For this list, I took the starting safeties from each team. Let’s take a look at how they rank:

A look at how Titans safeties and wide receivers were rated in “Madden NFL 24”.
The “Madden NFL 24” video game, which is set to release on August 15, has begun rolling out player ratings for certain positions, giving us an early look at how Tennessee Titans players fared.
Thus far, the video game has revealed ratings for receivers and safeties, with two Titans being ranked among the highest-rated players at their respective positions.
Those two players are wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, whose 93 overall rating ranked seventh at the position, and safety Kevin Byard, whose 92 ranked tied for third at his position.
It’s always great to see Titans players getting some respect, especially Byard, who is often overlooked as one of the very best at his position in the NFL.
But how did the rest of the Titans’ safeties and wide receivers fare? We take a look at that now, although we’ve only included the most notable receivers on the Titans’ current roster.

In our second-to-last offseason preview, we take a look at the Titans’ cornerbacks and safeties.
In our latest offseason preview for the Tennessee Titans, we’re taking a look at the team’s situation at both cornerback and safety with free agency rapidly approaching
The defensive backs group wasn’t immune to the plethora of injuries the Titans suffered in 2022, with starters like Kristian Fulton (six games) and Amani Hooker (eight games) both missing time due to injury.
The Titans didn’t get anything out of Elijah Molden and Caleb Farley as a result of injury, also. Farley in particular wasn’t good in his limited opportunities, either.
Roger McCreary found himself in a significant role in Year 1 after beating out Farley for the starting job, and while he no doubt flashed, the rookie saw his fair share of struggles, also.
The rock, of course, was safety Kevin Byard, who played at a high level despite players dropping like flies around him.
The result of all that was the Titans finishing with the worst pass defense in the NFL in 2022. The good news is, there is nowhere to go but up for Tennessee’s group of defensive backs.
Now, a look at who’s under contract, who’s a pending free agent, and what the Titans might do at both positions this offseason.
The Titans are missing a handful of starters.
The Chargers have had their fair share of injuries to key players this season.
The Titans are currently dealing with their own and will be short-handed when they come to town this Sunday as a result.
Defensive tackle Denico Autry, cornerback Kristian Fulton, safety Amani Hooker and wide receiver Treylon Burks were ruled out on Friday.
Tennessee is already without offensive tackle Taylor Lewan, edge defender Harold Landry, linebacker David Long Jr. and cornerback Elijah Molden, who are on injured reserve.
The Titans have lost their last three games, and the primary reason why they have struggled to pick up a win is because of their pass defense.
Tennessee is allowing the second-most passing yards per game (283.7) and has not produced a turnover in that span.
Not having Autry on the field has been the difference-maker, as he leads the team in sacks (seven). His partner-in-crime, Jeffery Simmons, has played, but an ankle issue has still hampered him.
Because of the lack of pass rush and vulnerable secondary, quarterback Justin Herbert could be in for a field, especially since he has wideouts Keenan Allen and Mike Williams at his disposal again.
Allen and Williams combined for 18 catches on 20 targets for 208 yards and a touchdown in Week 14.
Burks, the Titans’ 2022 first-round pick, has shown great flashes. He has 25 receptions for 359 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season. But he remains in concussion protocol.
