The Tennessee Titans are currently in somewhat of a transition year, although they certainly would never come right out and say that.
Sure, it’s not like head coach Mike Vrabel and general manager Ran Carthon are rolling over for the coming season, but it’s clear this team is trying to get its financial hose in order for 2024, when the team will be flush with cap space (approximately $93.8 million, per Over the Cap).
That’s evident by the moves Tennessee has made, most of which has the team betting on upside with cheaper players who have primarily played in backup roles but have shown the potential to do more.
If Tennessee can avoid making anymore decisions that impact their future cap space (DeAndre Hopkins might be one of those moves) while also staying competitive, things will be looking very bright next season.
But we have to get through 2023 first.
Here’s a look at how Tennessee is allocating its salary cap funds, position-by-position, where that ranks against the rest of the NFL and who the biggest cap hit at each position is.
