As it stands now, the Tennessee Titans are set to have a competition for the backup quarterback job between Logan Woodside and 2020 seventh-round pick, Cole McDonald.
But don’t rule out the Titans adding a veteran backup quarterback option into the mix, as general manager Jon Robinson suggested the team could do at some point.
Robinson said so when he was a guest on “The George Plaster Show” on WNSR-AM 560 on Wednesday.
Robinson said #Titans have to see what they have in Logan Woodside to see if he can be a possible No. 2 QB. Still some veteran guys that will be out there at training camp, if we need to go that route.

It’s understandable if the Titans want to bring a more experienced signal-caller into the competition set to happen in training camp.
While Woodside has spent multiple years in the league, he has never taken a regular season snap in the NFL. And, of course, McDonald is an incoming rookie.
Tennessee must explore every option to ensure the team would be in the best position possible to stay afloat if Ryan Tannehill were to come down with an injury. There is simply too much riding on this upcoming season not to.
As far as remaining options are concerned, there are some solid ones. Guys like Blake Bortles, Joe Flacco and Matt Moore are still available and have more experience than Woodside and McDonald combined.
On the higher end of those options is Andy Dalton, who was recently released by the Bengals; although he might be a bit too expensive and has better choices out there if he wants an opportunity to start.
