After hitting waivers following his release from the Minnesota Vikings, veteran wide receiver Tajae Sharpe went unclaimed on Tuesday, so he’s free to sign with any team he chooses.
It was a bit surprising to see the Titans not claim him with their need for depth at the position.
After all, it’s not like Sharpe is owed a lot of money the rest of the season, as he signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Vikings this past offseason, and his return would be seamless thanks to his experience in the offense.
Granted, Sharpe has been non-existent this season, but he has put up decent enough numbers in the past to be a viable depth option for the Titans or any other NFL roster, for that matter.
Prior to his clearing waivers, beat writer Paul Kuharsky tweeted that we shouldn’t expect a reunion with the Titans and their former fifth-round pick.
Don't look for Tajae Sharpe to resurface with #Titans.

Along with Sharpe, wide receiver Kenny Stills is also available on the open market.
The Titans would be wise to sign one of these two veterans for the stretch run, especially because Adam Humphries’ future is uncertain after being placed on IR due to a concussion suffered in Week 8.
Furthermore, the Titans have very little experience behind A.J. Brown and Corey Davis and are one injury to either of those players away from having a huge problem on their hands, whether Humphries is healthy or not.
However, as of right now, it appears the Titans are content with what they have.
