The Tennessee Titans are facing a rebuild this offseason but can get a great jump start on it thanks to the wealth of cap space and pair of top-40 draft selections the team has.
After having financial constraints last offseason, the Titans are set to have about $65.2 million in cap space this offseason, per Over the Cap, which is the fourth-most in the NFL.
That’s based on a salary cap figure of $242 million, but Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reports it could go as high as $250 million. The league hasn’t revealed what the number will actually be yet.
Bear in mind, Tennessee can open up more cap space by making cuts, of which there is expected to be at least one with left tackle Andre Dillard.
Three of Tennessee’s biggest needs are at left tackle, wide receiver and cornerback.
In a recent article naming the best fit for each of ESPN’s top-50 free agents, Matt Bowen named the Titans as ideal landing spots for two of them, while also naming other teams as best fits for two of Tennessee’s own free agents.
Here’s a look at what Bowen had to say about each of them and some of our thoughts.
