The Tennessee Titans transitioned to somewhat of a new era at the safety position last season after parting ways with a long-time starter.
Tennessee traded Kevin Byard to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Terrell Edmunds and two picks in the 2024 NFL draft, one in the fifth and one in the sixth.
At the time, the trade didn’t look all that great, but it looks a whole hell of a lot better after Byard struggled during his 11-game stint with the Eagles, which has led to him being named a cut candidate in 2024.
The reason I said “somewhat of a new era” at safety is because the Titans still had Byard’s running mate, Amani Hooker, who had a solid season but failed to stay healthy for the entire campaign once again.
Tennessee deployed a combination of K’Von Wallace and Elijah Molden in Byard’s stead. Molden was OK in his first season at the position and Wallace was better than expected after being claimed off waivers.
In our latest offseason preview for the Titans, we take a look at the pending free agents, those under contract and what Tennessee’s biggest needs are at the position going into the 2024 offseason.
