Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson is going to have a busy offseason.
After the Titans fell one game short of making it to Super Bowl LIV, head coach Mike Vrabel’s squad is on the doorstep of being true contenders.
But before that can happen, the Titans’ GM must make moves at certain positions in free agency and in the draft that will make a significant impact and/or add depth to the roster.
Let’s see what those positions are, in no particular order.
Starting and backup QB
These are obvious ones. The Titans don’t have a starting quarterback under contract for 2020 as of yet, but chances are they’ll get something done to keep Ryan Tannehill in Nashville.
On the extreme side, the Titans could bring in Tom Brady.
Once the starting situation is figured out, the Titans also need a backup, especially with Tannehill’s checkered past with injuries, or because Brady is going to be 43 when next season starts.
The only quarterback under contract right now is Logan Woodside, and there’s no guarantee he can keep this team afloat if an injury happens. The Titans like Woodside, but he hasn’t taken a snap in a regular season game yet.
The Titans might end up drafting a young quarterback to groom for the future and serve as the team’s backup, but the safer option would be to bring in an experienced backup who can keep the team competitive if an injury occurs.
Which direction the Titans decide to go as far as a backup is concerned could hinge on who the starter ends up being, whether it’s Tannehill or Brady.
