It took three days into the new league year but the Tennessee Titans finally made their splash move of the offseason.
The Titans traded a 2023 sixth-Round pick to the Los Angeles Rams for the services of veteran wide receiver Robert Woods.
The 10th-year pro is currently recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in November, ironically, after facing the Tennessee Titans during their Sunday night matchup.
Nonetheless, Woods is one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the game when he’s on the field. He’s also been called one of the best blocking wide receivers by Mike Vrabel which is something that undoubtedly motivated them to get the deal done.
As you’d imagine, the reaction on Twitter was resoundingly positive as the fanbase welcomed the team’s new wide receiver.
Let’s take a closer look at how media members, fans, and now current teammates reacted to the big news of the day:

Robert Woods is an EXCELLENT addition for the #Titans

Bobby Trees gonna be a damn good 1-2 punch with A.J. Brown! ⚔️ https://t.co/X3jYYiPUl3

Wow, big-time move to bolster the WR position.
29 yr-old Woods is a 9-year vet, with 570 catches for 7,077 yards and 35 touchdowns.
The risky part? Woods coming off a torn ACL last year. https://t.co/YgCGfU48Pa— John Glennon (@glennonsports) March 19, 2022

AJ Brown, Robert Woods, and Austin Hooper 🔥🔥🔥

This opens up a more plausible return for OBJ to the #Rams. https://t.co/PBqdeeTWZn

Bobby Trees is a great get for the @Titans. https://t.co/cvgsaQ9SAh

Whattt. Great move by Jon Robinson. Woods is really good if he can get back to full strength https://t.co/iGFte2IOiU
— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) March 19, 2022
…and for only a sixth round pick.
What a disappointment. You couldn’t get anything more than a 6th for Robert freaking Woods??? https://t.co/FhLFaxU56W

Honestly? That's better than I would have hoped for. Both in terms of the player and relatively low compensation. https://t.co/9x8fhJ4MVS

No-brainer compensation. #Titans https://t.co/vRwqIwPlcp

A 2023 6th! What a deal https://t.co/xZkgJaWiAf

This is going to cut deep to Rams fans. Local kid was the guts of the offense in terms of heart and sacrifice before he got hurt. He will be big for Titans pass and run games. Super physical chain mover and blocker from the slot. https://t.co/g9kG1izwJY

Ideal realistic 2022 #Titans offense (IMO):
QB: Ryan Tannehill
RB: Derrick Henry
WR: AJ Brown
WR: Robert Woods
WR: 1st round rookie (C. Olave 🙏🏽)
TE: Austin HooperLT: Taylor Lewan
LG: 3rd round rookie/Dillon Radunz
C: Ben Jones
RG: Nate Davis
