Daren Bates | ILB
Like Woodyard, Bates would not only provide depth on defense, but he’d also return to his usual spot as a key special teamer for the Titans.
The only issue here is that Bates has mostly played on special teams, as the most snaps he’s seen on defense during his career was 40 back in 2018. Still, that isn’t a huge concern for an inside linebacker who would be near the bottom of the depth chart.
Regardless, Bates brings versatility with him, and was a great presence in the locker room, serving as one of the team’s hype men during his time in Nashville.
