Contracts: Four years, $17.5 million (2016)/Two years, $13.5 million (2019)

Jones was one of the first signings Robinson made after taking over as general manager, and it has certainly paid dividends.

Jones has given the Titans stellar play up the middle and has provided stability after having started in all but one game during his four-year tenure.

Prior to the 2019 campaign, Robinson decided to avoid letting Jones hit free agency in 2020 by locking him up to a two-year extension. Jones proved the Titans’ GM made the right move once again after posting his best season as a pro despite the offensive line struggling around him early on.

According to PFF, Jones’ 2019 overall grade of 77.2, which was the best of his career, was third among qualifying centers and he was one of just four players at his position who logged a minimum of 250 pass-blocking snaps and allowed a pressure rate under two percent.

Former Titans WR Rishard Matthews sounds off with thoughts on Colin Kaepernick

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews hasn’t been shy about speaking on the team since he left it.

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews hasn’t been shy about speaking on the team since he left it. He weighed in on the Marcus Mariota situation earlier this year, saying that ‘nobody wants to keep it real’ with the signal-caller.

Now, he’s taken the Instagram with his thoughts on a much more controversial quarterback in Colin Kaepernick.

In the post, he claims that the Titans had a hand in the collusion. He mentions the team specifically in his long-winded caption.

Here’s a look at how the excerpt read.

“Another Fun fact: One of the 3yrs he was out Our QB kept getting hurt. And i suggested to both the GM & to the Head Coach separately in a face to face conversation that we should bring Kap in he’d be perfect for this offense. They both not knowing i had talked to one another had literally gave me the same exact answer. At those moments i knew they all collectively were keeping him away. We then signed TWO qbs that weren’t even of range of Kap. That also showed me that people are willing to lose then to present him with an opportunity. Taught me a lot about people, business, & overall just good & evil. I mean no preseason, no workouts, no nothing. For 3yrs.. Crazy”

Matthews played with the Titans between 2017 and 2018, making 17 appearances for the team before ultimately being released. The incidents he speaks of could have taken place during that timeframe in which Mariota was dealing with injuries.

It will be interesting to see if Kaepernick lands with a team after his Saturday workout, which the Titans did attend.
